Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town 歌词

Written by Mel Tillis (As performed by George Jones) You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down 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 And it's true I'm not the man, Ruby, that I used to be Ruby, I still need some company It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed 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 leavin' now 'cause I just heard the slamming 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 Ruby, don't take your love to town For God's sake turn around Don't take your love to town
