Ruby (Dont Take Your Love To

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 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

That my wants and needs of a woman of your age

Ruby, I realized

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, 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
