Jerry Reed - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town lyrics

You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere Well the shadows on the wall tell me that the sun is going down Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby don't take your love to town Well it is hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize But it won't be long I hear them say until I ain't around Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby don't take your love to town Well it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores And I know Ruby that I'm not the man I supposed to be I say Ruby Ruby Ruby I still need your company She is 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 get my gun and I put her under the ground Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby I say Ruby Ruby Ruby I say I say Ruby Ruby Ruby don't take your love to town
