Roger Miller - 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 shadows on the wall tell 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 chores
And yes it's true I'm not the
Man that I used to be
Oh but Ruby I still need your company
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 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 it out
