Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

[00:00.75]You've painted up your lips
[00:02.26]Rolled and curled your tinted hair
[00:06.18]
[00:10.71]Ruby, are you contemplating
[00:12.65]Going out somewhere?
[00:17.35]The shadow on the wall
[00:20.33]Tells me the sun is going down
[00:24.73]
[00:27.88]Oh, Ruby
[00:34.24]Don't take your love to town
[00:37.95]
[00:40.19]It wasn't me
[00:41.62]That started that old crazy Asian war
[00:47.04]But I was proud to go
[00:48.98]And do my patriotic chore
[00:54.95]And yes, it's true that
[00:57.03]I'm not the man I used to be
[01:01.49]
[01:04.03]Oh, Ruby, I still need some company
[01:14.68]It's hard to love a man
[01:18.95]Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
[01:23.56]
[01:27.45]And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
[01:30.07]Ruby, I realized
[01:35.32]But it won't be long
[01:36.81]I've heard them say until I'm not around
[01:42.21]Oh, Ruby
[01:47.72]
[01:51.24]Don't take your love to town
[01:54.95]
[01:57.26]She's leaving now 'cause
[01:58.62]I just heard the slamming of the door
[02:04.82]The way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before
[02:10.51]
[02:12.73]And if I could move I'd get my gun
[02:15.51]And put her in the ground
[02:19.22]
[02:22.17]Oh, Ruby
[02:28.72]Don't take your love to town
[02:32.55]
[02:34.73]Oh, Ruby, for God's sake, turn around
[02:42.98]
