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 Ru--by 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 chores And I know girl that I'm not the man that I used to be But Ru--by I still need some comp-any 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 Ru--by 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 Ru--by don't take your love to town Ruby for God sake's turn around Don't take your love to town
