Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town  

by Mel Tillis

V1.

       D                                                     A7    Em

You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.

D                          D         A7

Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?

    Em                              A7                   Em

The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -

    D   G G/F# Em (Stop)  

Oh Ruby-----

                        D

Don't Take your love to town

V2 (same as V1)

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

V3.

   Em                              D  

It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war

   Em                           G         A7    

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore

   Em                               A7                   Em

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

    D   G G/F# Em (Stop)  

Oh Ruby-----

                        D

I still need some company.

V4 (Same as V1)

She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' iof the door

The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

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

Oh Ruby-----

For god's sake turn around!

enjoy.....
