Waylon Jennings - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town Lyrics
(Mel Tillis)You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby, are you contemplating going out somewhereThe shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going downOh, Ruby don't take your love to town.It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian warBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic choresI know Ruby, that I'm not the man I used to beBut Ruby, I still need your company.--- Instrumental ---It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralizedAnd the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realizeBut I've heard them say it won't be long until I'm not aroundOh Ruby, don't take your love to town.She's leaving now for I just heard the slammin' of the doorThe way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times beforeIf I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the groundOh Ruby, don't take your love to town...
