Kenny Rogers - Ruby lyrics

You painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tended 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 wasnt me that started that old crazy azian war

but I was proud to go and do my patriatic shore

and yes it's true that I'm not the man I used to be

oh Ruby I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bend and paralized

and I won't set the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize

But it won't be long I heard them say untill I am not around

ooh Ruby don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause I 've just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I heard it slam 100 times before

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

ooh Ruby don't take your love to town

ooh Ruby for christ's sake turn around
