Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

(앨범: When You're Hot You're Hot - 1971)

You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
Well the shadows on the wall tell me that the sun is going down
Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby a don't take your love to town

Well it is hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard 'em say until I ain't around
Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby honey don't take your love to town

Well 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'm supposed to be
Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby I still need your company

She is 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 I'd put her under the ground
Well I say Ruby Ruby Ruby I say Ruby Ruby Ruby
I say I say Ruby Ruby Ruby a don't take your love to town
