Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town

Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town - The Calhoun Twins

You've painted up your lips

And rolled and curled your 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

It wasn't me

That started that old crazy Asian war

But I was proud to go

And do my patriotic chore

And I know Ruby

I'm not the man I used to be

But Ruby I still need your company

It's hard to love a man

Whose legs are bent and paralysed

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 not around

Oh Ruby

Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now 'cause

I just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I've heard it slam

100 times before

And if I could move I'd get my gun

And put her in the ground

Oh Ruby

Don't take your love to town

Oh for God's sake turn around
