[The First Edition cover]
|
|
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 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,
|
And the wants and needs of a woman your age really 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 leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
|
The way I know I heard its slams one hundred 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
