Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 

Its hard to love a man 

Whose legs are bent and paralyzed 

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 

Some hundred 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
