Ruby Don’t Take Your Love To Town – Cal Smith – letras

You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby are you contemplating going out somewhereThe shadows on the wall tell me the sun is almost downRuby don’t take your love to townFor it wasn’t me that started that old crazy Asian warBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic choresAnd I know Ruby I’m not the man that I used to beBut Ruby I still need your companyIt’s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralizedAnd the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realizeBut it won’t be long I’ve heard them say until I’m not aroundOh Ruby don’t take your love to townShe’s leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the doorThe way I know I’ve heard it slam a hundred times beforeAnd if I could move I get my gun and put her in the groundOh Ruby don’t take your love to townOh Ruby don’t take your love to townFor God’s sake turn aroundDon’t take your love to town
