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.
