Kenny Rogers - RubyDon't Take Your Love to Town lyrics

rate me

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

And yesit's true that

I'm not the man I used to be

Ohruby I still need some company

Its 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 not around

Oh ruby

Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause

I just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I've heard it

Some 100 times before

And if I could move I'd get my gun

And put her in the ground

Oh ruby

Don't take your love to town

Oh ruby for god's sake turn around
