Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town Lyrics - Wolfsheim

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 this whole crazy Asian war 

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore 

Yes, it's true that I am 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 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'm 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 one 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 

Oh Ruby, for God sakes turn around
