Ruby — текст песни (Kenny Rogers)

(Mel Tillis)

You`ve painted up your lips an 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

Its 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

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`m not the man I used to be...
Oh Ruby
I still need some company.

She`s leavin` now `cause I heard the slammin` iof 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
For god`s sake turn around
