RUBY (DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN)
As performed by Kenny Rogers
------------------------------------

You've painted up your lips
And 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.

It wasn't me that started
That old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go and do
My patriotic chore.
Yes it's true that I'm not
The man I used to be,
Oh, Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love
A man whose legs
Are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and 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.
