Lyrics:

The party is over now

So draw the curtains down

Your secret is safe to keep

Unzip your velvet gown

And let your hair hang loose

Kick off your satine shoes

Throw back the hided down

Farewell to the friday's clown

Circus is leaving town

Oh Ruby roll your stockins down

Circus is leaving town

Oh Ruby dry your eyes

Fixed up something to heap

Still water still run deep

The dogs are barking now

The bag ar'out on the street

Circus is leaving town

Oh Ruby roll your stockins down

Circus is leaving town

So Ruby dry your eyes

The party is over now

Stop howling at the moon

You need a different being

You need a different tune

Remember that old song

We heard when we were young

Life was an empty page

The world would write upon

Do you recall the mat of grass we sitted and watched the hours pass

He was such a good girl

Then no Ruby dry your eyes

Circus is leaving town

No Ruby roll your stockins down

Circus is leaving town

So Ruby dry your eyes

You're searching when you walk

You're searching when you talk

You could make me believe

That the sun sets in the east

The sun sets in the east
