Ruby Murray Official Site

Hi, everone.

The Forum has gone 'silent' again, so I decided to try a teaser.

In which of Ruby's songs (there are several) do the lyrics indicate that 'Ruby' will leave her man & has found, or hopes to catch, a new man?

Have fun.
Good luck. Ralph

I apologize for the ambiguities in my first message. Hopefully the rephrasing will help sharpen the point.

Hi everyone,

Hi Ralph,

Is it "Let him go let him tarry"where Ruby sings "I'm going to marry a far nicer boy"?

Martin.

Hello, Martin.

That's one of them, but there several more. I should have made it clear that I'm looking for more than one song. Try to think of as many as you can.

Good luck.
Ralph

Hello Ralph,

So pleased that you have posted a 'Teaser', even though it has several answers. I will try to give it some thought but working on Antoinette's laptop, which is of course in French, it becomes very difficult. What with trying to learn Spanish, as well as French, life is hard, and I have great difficulty with English.

Off the top of my head, I can add another one to Martin's Would 'Please Make Him Jealous?

Adios Amigo. Bernie.

Thanks for the challenge, Ralph.

How about "The Humour is on me Now"?

Hi, Bernie & Gerald.

Bernie, your choice was on my list - so you get une etoile rouge (? - my French is very rusty).

Gerald, I hadn't thought of "The Humour is On Me Now", but you're correct, of course. The girl tries to choose between 3 men, marries Joe, but is soon very unhappy. But I don't think she actually finds or hopes to catch another.
Perhaps she'll divorce Joe and stay away from men altogether.

I still have 3 on my list, but there are probably some I forgot to add.

Let's get some of those infrequent contributors going on this.

Cheers. Ralph

What about "Jimmy Unknown". The problem with Ruby she had so many men that was going away, or she was waiting for them coming home, you could say she had a problem with men.

John.

Hello, John.

I didn't have "Jimmy Unknown" on my list, but it's a good answer considering my unclear question. I have sharpened my question so please read it again.

In "Jimmy Unknown", 'Ruby' is surely looking for a new love, but doesn't seem to be leaving an old one.

Have another go.

Regards.
Ralph

Would "A Message From Jimmy" fit your revised rules, Ralph?

Hello, Gerald.

Yes, you have one.

Now I have 2 more songs on my list.

Regards.
Ralph

Hello, everyone.

So far, stars have been given for :

Please Make Him Jealous (Bernie)
Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry (Martin)
A Message from Jimmy (Gerald)

For the last 2 songs on my list, I might suggest that you consider an old Matt Monro song, "WALK AWAY".

Best of luck.
Ralph

So are we talking about Let Me Off At The Corner lover "I'll Walk The Rest of The Way"

Well done, John.

You get a star, too.

There is just one song left (unless somebody comes up with one I overlooked).

The last one also has a vague connection to the Matt Monro song, and has an indirect connection to my first title.


P.S. I listened to the last song again, and I realize that it doesn't fit my own criteria. However, I'll tie it to my clues anyway.
Connection to first title "Change of Heart" : song is on the "Change Your Mind" CD.
Connection to Matt Monro's "Walk Away" : song is "Away From You", in which 'Ruby' is certainly leaving her man, but gives no indication that she is looking for another. Sorry for misleading you all.

Best regards.
Ralph
