Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town Lyrics

You painted up your lips
And 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
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to townIt 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 beOh, Ruby I still need some companyIt's hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman of your age
Ruby, I realizedBut It won't be Long,
I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby

Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around
