歌词与中文翻译
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
你早已染上口红并卷好染了色的头发
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
Ruby，你准备去哪儿呢
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
围墙上的倒影表明夜幕即将来临
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
噢，Ruby，请不要将你的爱带去城中
你知道不是我挑起了那场极度疯狂的亚洲战
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
但我为参战而自豪，尽管那是些挂着爱国幌子的杂务
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
确实如此，曾经的我消失得无影无踪
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
噢，Ruby，可我依旧需要你的陪伴
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
没人会爱上一个双腿弯曲且瘫痪的男人
似你这般年龄女人的欲望和渴求，Ruby，我了然于心
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
我听旁人说那时间不会太久，直至我不在你左右
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize
噢，Ruby，请不要将你的爱带去城中
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I not around
我知道她正要离去，因为我听到门砰的一声
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
过去我无数次听到这砰砰的声音
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
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
噢，Ruby，请不要将你的爱带入城中
The way I know I've heard it slam some 100 times before
哦，Ruby...看在上帝的份上，回头吧
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Bugs
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby... For god's sake turn around
