Текст песни Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town - Kenny Rogers and The First Edition

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted 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 wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore.
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 bent and paralysed,
And the wants and the needs of a woman in 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.

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I've heard it
Slamming a 100 times before.
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground.
Oh, Ruby,
Don't take your love to town.

Oh, Ruby - God's sake turn around.
