(D)You've painted up your lips and rolled
and (G)curled your tinted
(A7)hair. (A7sus4) - (A7)
- (Emin)
(D)Ruby, are you contemplating (G)going
out some(A7)where? (A7sus4)
- (A7)
The (Emin)shadow on the wall tells me,
the (A7)sun is going down. (A7sus4)
- (A7)
- (Emin)
Oh, Ru(D)by, (G)
- (Emin7) don't take your love to (D)town.
It (Emin)wasn't me who started that old
(D)crazy Asian war,
But (Emin)I was proud to go and do my (G)patriotic
(A7) chore.
And (Emin)yes, it's true that I am not
the (A7)man I used to be.(A7sus4)
- (A7)
- (Emin)
Oh, Ru(D)by, (G)
- (Emin7) I just need some compa(D)ny.
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed.
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.
[N.C.]She's leaving now, 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door;
The way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before.
If I could walk, I'd get my gun and put her in the ground.
Oh, Ruby, for Gods sake, turn around.
