{title:Ruby}
{subtitle:Kenny Rogers}
 
[N.C.]You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted
[A7]hair.      [Em]
[D]Ruby, are you contemplating [G]going out some[A7]where?
The [Em]shadow on the wall tells me, the [A7]sun is going down.     [Em]
Oh, Ru[D]by,   [G]       [Em7]    don't take your love to town.    [D]
 
        It [Em]wasn't me who started that old [D]crazy Asian war,
        but [Em]I was proud to go and do my [G]patriotic [A7]choir.
        And [Em]yes, it's true that I am not the [A7]man I used to be.  [Em]
        Oh, Ru[D]by,   [G]       [Em7]    I just need some company.  [D]
 
 
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed.
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.
 
[N.C.]She's leaving now, 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door;
the way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before.
If I could walk, I'd get my gun and put her in the ground.
Oh, Ruby, for Gods sake, turn around.
