\nRuby are you contemplating, going out somewhere
\nThe shadow on the wall, tells me the sun is going down
\nOh Ruby, don’t take your love to town<\/p>\n
\nBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
\nAnd yes it’s true, that I’m not the man I used to be
\nBut Ruby, I still need some company<\/p>\n
\nAnd the wants and needs of a woman of your age
\nRuby I realize
\nIt won’t be long, I’ve heard them say, until I’m not around
\nOh Ruby, don’t take your love to town<\/p>\n
\nThe way I know I’ve heard it slam 100 times before
\nAnd if I could move I’d get my gun and put her in the ground, oh Ruby
\nDon’t take your love to town, oh Ruby, for God’s sake turn around<\/p>\n
