Ruby Don`t Take Your Love To Town — текст песни (Mel Tillis)

You`ve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating goin` 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 chores
And yes it`s true I`m not the man that I used to be
Oh but 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 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`d get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby don`t take your love to town Ruby for God sake`s turn around
