Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

作曲：MEL TILLIS

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 old 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

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

to be

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

take your love to town

to be

for god sakes turn around
