Verse 1:
Yo, listen up, I got a story to tell,
‘Bout a girl named Ruth, yo, she was hella swell,
She came from Moab, but her husband died,
Left her alone, no one by her side.
Chorus:
Ruth said to Naomi, “Where you go I’ll go,
Where you stay I’ll stay, your God will be my God, yo.
Never gonna leave you, I’ll be with you always,
Ruth and Naomi, best friends all the way.”
Verse 2:
Naomi tried to send her home,
But Ruth said no, she wouldn’t roam.
She wanted to help, to provide,
For Naomi, she’d be her guide.
Chorus:
Ruth said to Naomi, “Where you go I’ll go,
Where you stay I’ll stay, your God will be my God, yo.
Never gonna leave you, I’ll be with you always,
Ruth and Naomi, best friends all the way.”
Verse 3:
Ruth went out to gather grain,
Boaz saw her and felt some pain.
He liked her and he wanted more,
So he told his workers, to let her have more.
Chorus:
Ruth said to Naomi, “Where you go I’ll go,
Where you stay I’ll stay, your God will be my God, yo.
Never gonna leave you, I’ll be with you always,
Ruth and Naomi, best friends all the way.”
Verse 4:
Boaz saw the love in Ruth’s heart,
And he knew he couldn’t be apart,
He asked her to be his wife,
To love her for the rest of his life.
Chorus:
Ruth said to Naomi, “Where you go I’ll go,
Where you stay I’ll stay, your God will be my God, yo.
Never gonna leave you, I’ll be with you always,
Ruth and Naomi, best friends all the way.”
Outro:
So that’s the story ’bout Ruth and Naomi,
Their love was strong, it was never phony.
They stuck together through thick and thin,
Ruth and Naomi, true friends ’til the end.
