You’ve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tells me the sun is goin’ 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 chores
Yes it’s true that i’m not the man i used to be
But 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 of your age
Ruby, i realize
But it won’t be long, i’ve heard them say, until i’m not around
Oh, ruby
Don’t take your love to town
She’s leavin’ now ’cause i just heard the slammin’ of a door
The way i know i’ve heard it slam one~hundred times before
If i could move, i’d get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh, ruby
Don’t take your love to town
Oh, ruby
Don’t take your love to town
