Song : Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town
Album: Sawdust
Capo 1st
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 Dm
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down,
C F C Dm C
Oh Rub-------y, don't take your love to town.
Dm F C
It wasn't me who started that old crazy Asian war,
Dm F G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore,
Dm G Dm
And yes, it's true that I am not the man I used to be,
C F C Dm C
Oh Rub-------y, I still need some company.
C F G Dm
It's hard to love a man whose legs have been paralyzed,
C F G
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
Dm G Dm
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around,
C F C Dm C
Oh Rub-------y, don't take your love to town.
(pm)
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
(pm)
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before,
Dm G Dm
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground,
C F C Dm C
Oh Rub-------y, don't take your love to town.
C F C Dm
Oh Rub-------y, for God sakes turn around.
