我听旁人说那时间不会太久，直至我不在你左右
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair，
噢，Ruby，请不要将你的爱带去城中
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere，Ruby，
我知道她正要离去，因为我听到门砰的一声
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down，
过去我无数次听到这砰砰的声音
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town，
如果我能动弹一丁点儿的话，我一定会拿起枪使她长眠于地
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war，
噢，Ruby，请不要将你的爱带入城中
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore，
噢，Ruby...看在上帝的份上，回头吧！
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be，
Oh Ruby, I still need some accompany，
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed，
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 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 some 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，
