C F G Dm
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
C F G
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
Dm G
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
C F Dm (Stop) C
Oh Ruby-----don't take your love to town
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
Dm C
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war
Dm F G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
Dm G
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
C F Dm (Stop) C
Oh Ruby-----I still need some company
Music like verse 1
She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' 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-----For god's sake turn around
