Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
by Mel Tillis
 
V1.
       D                                                     A7    Em
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair.
D                          D         A7
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
    Em                              A7                Em
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
    D   G G/F# Em (Stop)
Oh Ruby-----
                        D
Don't take your love to town
 
V2.
        D                                       A7        Em
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
D                           D          A7
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
    Em                               A7              Em
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I not around
    D   G  G/F#  Em (Stop)
Oh Ruby
                        D
Don't take your love to town
 
V3.
   Em                              D
It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war
   Em                           G         A7
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
   Em                               A7                   Em
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be...
    D   G G/F# Em (Stop)
Oh Ruby-----
                        D
I still need some company
 
V4.
       D                                             A7    Em
She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' of the door
D                          D         A7
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
    Em                              A7                   Em
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
   D   G  G/F#  Em (Stop)
Oh Ruby
 
For God's sake turn around!
