x                                                             G     Dm
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair 

C                           F             G     
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere? 

    Dm                              G                 Dm
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down 

      C F Am Dm x                       C
Oh Ruby ...     don't take your love to town 

   Dm                             C
It wasn't me who started that old crazy Asian war 

    Dm                          F         G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore 

    Dm                              G
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be 

Dm C F Am Dm x                      C
Oh Ruby...   I still need some company 

     C                                 F             G   Dm 
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed 

        C                                    F         G
And the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize 

Dm                                           G
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around 

Dm C F Am Dm x                       C
Oh Ruby...   don't take your love to town 

x (CHUCKS)
And she's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door 

x (CHUCKS)
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before 

      Dm                               G                     Dm
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground 

   C F Am Dm x                       C
Oh Ruby...   don't take your love to town 

   F Am Dm x                         (CHUCKS)
Oh Ruby... for God's sake, turn around
