You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
|
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
|
The shadows on the wall tell 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 chores
|
I know Ruby that I'm not the man I used to be but Ruby I still need your company
|
[ dobro ]
|
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 I've heard them say it won't be long until I'm not around
|
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
|
She's leaving now for I just heard the slammin' of the door
|
The way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before
|
If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
|
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
|
