歌词
You've 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 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
♪
Oh, Ruby, I still need some company
♪
It's 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
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 one hundred 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
