Ruby

You've painted up your

Lips and rolled and

Curled your tinted hair

Ruby are you contemplating

Going out some where

The shadows on the wall

Tell me the sun is going down

Oh ruuu ruuu Ruby don't take

Your love to town

Oh it wasn't me who started

That old crazy Asian war

But I was proud to go and

Do my patriotic chores

And yes it's true that I'm 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 paralized

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 leavin' now 'cause

I just heard the slamming

Of the door

The way I know I've heard

It slam one hundred times before

If I could move I get my

Gun and put her in the ground

Oh Ruby

Don't take your love to town

Oh Ruby

For God sake turn around
