Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town
You've painted up your lipsAnd rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby are you contemplatingGoing out somewhereThe shadow on the wallTells me the sun is going downOh RubyDon't take your love to townIt wasn't meThat started that old crazy Asian warBut I was proud to goAnd do my patriotic choreAnd yes, it's true thatI'm not the man I used to beOh, Ruby I still need some companyIts hard to love a man Whose legs are bent and paralyzedAnd 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 not aroundOh RubyDon't take your love to townShe's leaving now causeSongtexteI just heard the slamming of the doorThe way I know I've heard itSome hundred times beforeAnd if I could move I'd get my gunAnd put her in the groundOh RubyDon't take your love to townOh Ruby for God's sake turn around
