A song about freedom from desegregation inspired by the story of Ruby Bridges.
A little bitty girl left out cos she’s not white.
A little bitty girl she was really up for the fight
So 4 big fed men took her there and home at night
A little bitty girl left out cos she’s not white.
A little bitty girl she was really up for the fight
So 4 big fed men took her there and home at night
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
She wanna go to school
(She’s no fool)
Rock on Ruby
Rock on Ruby hey hey
Rock on Ruby
Rock on Ruby okay
You gotta rock on Ruby
Be like Ruby today
A little bitty girl she always dared to dream
She had the right to learn she had the right to be set free
She was a pioneer back in nineteen sixty
A little bitty girl she always dared to dream
She had the right to learn she had the right to be set free
She was a pioneer back in nineteen sixty
