Lyrics for Song: Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town
Lyrics for Album: Mel Tillis and the Statesiders Live [MGM] [1978]
(Mel Tillis)
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Oh 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 tru I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need your company.
Well, 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.
Well, she's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
Now the way I know I heard it slam one hundred times before
If I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.
(One two three four
--- Instrumental ---
For God's sakes turn around...
