Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
Bobby Goldsboro

(Mel Tillis)


You have 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 goin' down

Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.


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.


For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war


But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores

Oh, I know Ruby that I'm not the man I used to be

But Ruby, I still need your company.


And she's leaving now 'cause I've just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground

Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town, don't take your love to town...
