Ruby， Don’t You Take Your Love To Town-Kenny Rogers

Written by：Mel Tillis

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 ol' 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 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

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's sake turn around
