Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
 Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
 The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
 Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
 For 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 used to be
 But Ruby I still need your company
 (harmonica)
 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 for 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
 Don't take your love to town for my sake turn around
