You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair. 
A                          D             E    E7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere? 
    Bm                              A            E    E7
The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down...  
   A D
Oh Ruby 
                        A
Don't take your love to town 

   Bm                              A
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war 
    Bm                          D         E    E7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore 
    Bm                              A             E  E7
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be... 
   A D                          A
Oh Ruby, I still need some company. 

     A                                 D            E    E7
It s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed 
        A                                        D         E   E7

And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize, 
       Bm                                  E7           E    E7
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around 
   A D
Oh Ruby 
                        A
Don't take your love to town 

      A                               D                E   (no music)
She's leaving' now 'cause I heard the slamming' of the door 
    A                                 D               E   E7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before 
    Bm                                 A              E      E7
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground 
   A D
Oh Ruby 
                        A
Don't take your love to town 

   A D
Oh Ruby 
God sakes, turn around
