歌词
You've painted up your lips
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 realized
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 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
