       C                                   F                  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
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
   C   F Dm(Stop)                   C
Oh Ruby-----don't take your love to town


Its 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 not around
Oh Ruby-----don't take your love to town


   Dm                              C
It wasn't me that 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...
   C   F Dm(Stop)                   C
Oh Ruby-----I still need some company


Music like verse 1

She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' of 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
