RUBY DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN

Kenny Rogers and the First Edition

You painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair

Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere.

The shadow on the walls 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 yes it's true that I am not
The man I used to be.

Oh, Ruby
Still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose
Legs are bent and paralyzed.

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 leaving now 'cause I just heard
The slamming of the door.

Like I know I've heard it slam
one hundred times before.

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, Ruby (For God's sake turn around)
