"Go Down" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the first track of their Australian album Let There Be Rock, released in March 1977 (see 1977 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott.
"Go Down" is also the first track on the international version of Let There Be Rock, released in June 1977.
The song is about two women, Ruby and Mary, whom the speaker implies are very skilled at oral sex. Though Ruby's prolonged absence has driven the speaker to drinking, Mary appears to keep him quite happy.
The "Ruby" rhapsodised in this song was mentioned in Clinton Walker's Bon Scott bio Highway to Hell as being famed groupie, Ruby Lipps, whose specialty gave her her name, and also titled this song.
