Ruby Lyrics

You painted up your lips, and nails, and curled your tinted hair

Ruby, are you contemplating going out some where?

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 who started that old crazy Asian war,

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic choir

And yes, it's true that I am not the 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 a 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's sake turn around
