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 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 |
|
That my wants and needs of a woman of your age |
|
Ruby, I realized |
|
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 |
