You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Hey Ruby are you contemplating goin' out somewhere
Shadows on the wall tells me the sun is goin' down
Oh Ruby... don't take your love to town
It wasn't me who started that old crazy Asian war
And I was free to go and do my patriotic chore
And Ruby I know I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby... I still need some company
It's hard to love a man who's legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize
And it won't be long I've heard 'em say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby... don't take your love to town
She's leavin' now, I just heard the slammin' 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 lay her in the ground
Oh Ruby... don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby... don't take your love to town,
For God's sakes turn around, don't take your love to town
