Kenny Rogers - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
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 Injun war
But I was proud to go and do
my patriotic chore
And 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 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 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.
Oh, Ruby...
...for God's sake turn around!
