[00:04.33]You''''ve painted up your lips
[00:05.89]and rolled and curled your tinted hair
[00:08.94]
[00:14.77]Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
[00:22.50]The shadow on the wall
[00:23.99]tells me the sun is going down
[00:27.20]
[00:31.36]Oh Ruby,
[00:39.37]Don''''t take your love to town
[00:41.99]
[00:45.22]It wasn''''t me that started this whole crazy Asian war
[00:52.19]But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
[01:00.10]Yes it''''s true that I''''m not the man I used to be
[01:05.11]
[01:08.91]Oh Ruby,
[01:16.92]I still need some company
[01:19.82]
[01:22.92]It''''s hard to love a man
[01:24.49]whose legs are bent and paralysed
[01:27.72]
[01:33.01]And the wants and the needs of a woman your age,
[01:35.56]Ruby I realize
[01:40.99]But it won''''t be long
[01:42.18]I''''ve heard them say until I''''m not around
[01:45.66]
[01:50.13]Oh Ruby,
[01:58.22]Don''''t take your love to town
[02:02.72]
[02:03.97]She''''s leaving now
[02:05.12]cause I just heard the slamming of the door
[02:12.16]The way I know I''''ve heard it slam 100 times before
[02:19.60]And if I could move I''''d get my gun
[02:21.89]and put her in the ground
[02:24.49]
[02:28.59]Oh Ruby,
[02:36.66]Don''''t take your love to town
[02:39.41]
[02:42.41]Oh Ruby,
[02:50.41]For God sakes turn around
[02:52.29]
