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 this whole crazy |
|
Asian warBut |
|
I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore |
|
Yes, it's true that |
|
I am 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 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 leaving 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'd 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 |
