Ruby
C G G7
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
C F G G7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
Dm C G G7
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down...
C F Am Dm C
Oh Ruby, ………………………….don't take your love to town
Dm C
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
Dm F G G7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
Dm C G G7
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
C F C
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.
C F G G7
It s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
C F G G7
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
Dm G7 G G7
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
C F Am Dm C
Oh Ruby, ………………………….don't take your love to town
C F G (no music)
She's leaving' now 'cause I heard the slamming' of the door
C F G G7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
Dm C G G7
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
C F Am Dm C
Oh Ruby, ………………………….don't take your love to town
C F Am Dm C
Oh Ruby, ………………………. God sakes, turn around
