Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town |
| You’ve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair |
| Ruby are you contemplatin' going out somewhere |
| The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down |
| Oh Ruby don’t take your love to town |
| For it wasn’t me that started that old crazy Asian war |
| But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores |
| Ruby I know I’m not the man that I used to be but Ruby I still need your company |
| It’s hard to love a man whose legs’re bent and paralized |
| And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize |
| But 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 heard it slam one hundred times before |
| If I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground |
| Oh Ruby don’t take your love to town Ruby for God’s sakes turn around |
