Ruby Lyrics
by Kenny Rogers

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

Yes, it's true that I'm 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 wont be long, Ive heard them say
until I'm not around

Oh Ruby, dont take your love to town

Shes leaving now 'cause I just heard the
slamming of the door

The way I know Ive heard it slam a
hundred times before

And if I could move, Id get my gun and put
her in the ground

Oh Ruby, dont take your love to town

Oh Ruby, for Gods sake turn around
