Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

(专辑： Smashing! - 1996)

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 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 paralysed
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 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

Won't you come back Ruby
Won't you come back
Won't you come back Ruby
Won't you come back
Won't you come back Ruby
Won't you come back
Won't you come back Ruby
Won't you come back

Oh, my Ruby
Oh, my Ruby
Oh, my Ruby
Ruby
Ruby
