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
|
|
Its 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
|
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
|
