you painted up your lips
and rolled and curled
your tinted hair
<Interlude>
ruby are you contemplating
going out somewhere
the shadow on the wall tells me
the sun ist going down
oh ruby
don▽t take your love to town
it wasn▽t me who started
that old crazy asian war
but i was proud to going
and do my patriotic chore
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
she▽s leaving now
cause i just heard
the slamming 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
don▽t take your love to town
had it so bad
oh ruby
for god▽s sake turn around
