Statler Brothers - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town - Текст песни

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere

The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down

Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores

And I know Ruby that I'm not the man I used to be

But Ruby I still need your company

[ harmonica ]

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 leavin' now for I just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

If I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground

Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

Don't take your love to town for my sake turn around
