Roger Miller - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town Lyrics
Youve painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby are you contemplating going out somewhereThe shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going downRuby, dont take your love to townIt wasnt me that started that old crazy asian warBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic choreAnd its true Im not the man, ruby, that I used to beRuby, I still need some companyIts hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysedAnd the wants and the needs of a woman your age, ruby I realizeBut it wont be long Ive heard them say until Im not aroundOh ruby, dont take your love to townShes leavin now cause I just heard the slamming of the doorThe way I know Ive heard it slam one hundred times beforeAnd if I could move Id get my gun and put her in the groundRuby, dont take your love to townFor gods sake turn aroundDont take your love to town
