Ruby (Don’t Take Your Love To Town) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You have painted up your lips and rolled your greasy 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
[Verse 2]
It wasn't me who started out that crazy Irish war
But I was proud to do my patriotic chore
And I know, Ruby, that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need your company
[Verse 3]
Its 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
[Verse 4]
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 or more
If I could move I've get my gun and shovel her underground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Outro]
Ruby, for God's sake turn around
Ruby, Ruby don't go
You have painted up your lips and rolled your greasy 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
[Verse 2]
It wasn't me who started out that crazy Irish war
But I was proud to do my patriotic chore
And I know, Ruby, that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need your company
[Verse 3]
Its 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
[Verse 4]
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 or more
If I could move I've get my gun and shovel her underground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Outro]
Ruby, for God's sake turn around
Ruby, Ruby don't go
