Leonard Nimoy - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town текст песни

You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplatin' going out somewhere
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down

Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores
I know Ruby I'm not the man I used to be

But Ruby I still need your company

It's hard to love a man whose legs're bent and paralized
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

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
Way I know I heard it slam one hundred times before
If I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground

Oh Ruby don't take your love to town
