Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town - The Sheltons
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
This whole crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
Yes
I am not the true a man I used to be
Oh 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
Oh Ruby 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 Ruby don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God sakes turn around
