Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town

Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town

Mel Tillis

[Verse 1]
You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the walls tell me the sun is goin' down

[Refrain]
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town

[Verse 2]
For 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, that I'm not the man I used to be

[Refrain]
But, Ruby
I still need your company

[Verse 3]
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman of your age
Ruby, I realize
But it won't be long, I've heard 'em say, until I'm not around

[Refrain]
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town

[Verse 3]
She's leavin' now 'cause I just heard the slammin' of a 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

[Refrain]
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town

[Outro]
Oh, Ruby
For God's sake's, turn around
