Never Too Late Lyricsby The Scottsboro Boys Cast. From Scottsboro Boys, The Never Too Late by The Scottsboro Boys Cast RUBY BATES I want to make a statement about those Negroes jazzing me. It is not true. It is the opposite of true. It is a lie! BOYS WHOA, NELLIE HOLD THE PHONE RUBY I wish those Negroes are not burnt on account of me. BOYS LITTLE RUBY WANTS IT KNOWN RUBY So help me God, this is one time I am going to tell the truth. BOYS THAT IT’S NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE TO ATONE RUBY Help me up on the witness stand, boys. Make me look good. I’m kicking, but not too high. Now, your honor … A GIRL WHO FINDS SHE’S NOT A LOOKER MAY WELL DECIDE TO BE A HOOKER A LIVING EVEN HOMELY GIRLS CAN PURSUE BUT SINCE I NEVER DID RETIRE THOUGH NOW MY RATES ARE SOMEWHAT HIGHER ONE SIN, BY HOOK OR CROOK, I’D LIKE TO UNDO BOYS WHOA, NELLIE HOLD THE PHONE LITTLE RUBY WANTS IT KNOWN THAT IT’S NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE TO ATONE RUBY Get a wiggle on, boys! You’re headed to happiness! I HAD YOU GUYS INCARCERATED BUT I WAS NEVER VIOLATED AND SO YOU SEE YOU’VE NOT COMMITTED A CRIME THE VERY MINUTE THAT I SEEN YA I SEEN THERE’S NOT A DIME BETWEEN YA I KNOW I’M GOOD, BUT REALLY NINE AT A TIME? Sing boys! BOYS WHOA, NELLIE HOLD THE PHONE LITTLE RUBY WANTS IT KNOWN THAT IT’S NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE TO ATONE RUBY The old switch-a-roo! I’m causing a hoo-ha! AND SO DESPITE MY RAVE AND RANTIN’ I’LL TELL THE JURY I’M RECANTIN’ I LOST MY HEAD AND LIED WHEN I WAS A YOUTH BACK THEN I WAS A HOMELY PHONY BUT NOW I CHANGE MY TESTIMONY MAY ALL MY JOHNS DROP DEAD IF THAT AIN’T THE TRUTH THEY’LL SEE I JUST UNDID A BLUNDER AND NOW I STAND A COCKEYED WONDER WHO MADE A JOYFUL NOISE? BOYS WHO MADE A NOISE RUBY WHO FREED THOSE INNOCENT BOYS? BOYS WHO FREED THE BOYS RUBY IT’S ALL RUBY! RUBY THE LADY’S NAMED ALL RUBY RUBY AND THE LADY NAMED ALL RUBY RUBY JUST HAPPENS TO BE ME BOYS WHOA, NELLIE HOLD THE PHONE LITTLE RUBY WANTS IT KNOWN THAT IT’S NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE NEVER TOO LATE TO ATONE [Thanks to Garrett for lyrics]
