You hve 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
|
|
For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
|
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
|
And I know Ruby 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 paralized
|
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 leavin' 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 get my gun and put her in the ground
|
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
|
Oh Ruby for God sakes turn around
|
