Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town (Mel Tillis cover)
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby are you contemplating going out somewhereThe shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going downOh Ruby, Don't take your love to townIt wasn't me that started this whole crazy Asian warBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic choreYes it's true that I'm not the man I used to beOh Ruby, I still need some companyIt's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzedAnd the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realizeBut it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not aroundOh Ruby,Don't take your love to townShe's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the doorThe way I know I've heard it slam 100 times beforeAnd if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the groundOh Ruby,Don't take your love to townOh Ruby,For God sakes turn around Aus Songtexte Mania
