Artist/Band: Jimmy Dean
Lyrics for Song: Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town
Lyrics for Album: Everybody Knows [RCA Victor] [1971]



(Mel Tillis)



You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

Ruby, are you contemplatin' going out somewhere

The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down

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

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

But Ruby, I still need your company.



It's hard to love a man whose legs're 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.



She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door

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.



Ruby, for God's sakes turn around...
