You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -
F
Oh Ru-------by-----
Don't Take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...F
F
Oh Ru-------by-----
I still need some company.
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize
But it won't be long Ive heard them say until Im not around F
F
Oh Ru-------by-----
Don't Take your love to town
She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground F
F
Oh Ru-------by-----
Don't Take your love to town
F
Oh Ru-------by-----
For God sakes turn around!
