Introdução:
G C D7
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
G C D7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
C D7
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
G C D7 G
Oh Ru--by don't take your love to town
Am C G
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
Am C D7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
C D7
And I know girl that I'm not the man that I used to be
G C D7 G
But Ru--by I still need some comp-any
C D7
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
G C D7
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
C D7
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
G C D7 G
Oh Ru--by don't take your love to town
C D7
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
G C D7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
C D7
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
G C D7 G
Oh Ru--by don't take your love to town
C G
Ruby for God sake's turn around
C D7 G
Don't take your love to town
