Kenny Rogers - Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town lyrics
[Kenny Rogers - Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town lyrics]
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 goin' 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
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 of 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 'cause I just heard
The slammin' of the door
The way I know I've heard
It slam 100 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 sake's, turn around
And curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating
Going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me
The sun is goin' 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
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 of 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 'cause I just heard
The slammin' of the door
The way I know I've heard
It slam 100 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 sake's, turn around
