C F G Dm
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair.
C F G
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
Dm G Dm
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down.
C F C Dm C
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.
Dm C
For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war.
Dm F G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores.
Dm G Dm
And yes it's true, that I'm not the man I used to be.
C F C Dm C
Oh, Ruby, I still need some company.
C F G Dm
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized.
C F G
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize.
Dm G Dm
But it won't be long I heard them say until I'm not around.
C F C Dm C
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.
C F G Dm
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of a door.
C F G
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before.
Dm G Dm
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground.
C F C Dm C
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.
C F C Dm
Oh Ruby, for God's sake turn around.
