Текст песни: Ruby (Don't Take Your Love to Town) + перевод

You have painted up your lips

And rolled your greasy tinted hair

Ruby are you contemplating

Going out somewhere

The shadow on the wall

Tells me the sun is going down

Oh Ruby

Don’t take your love to town

It wasn’t me

Who started out that old crazy Irish war

But I was proud to do

My patriotic chore

And I know Ruby

That I’m not the man I used to be

Oh, Ruby

I still need your company

Its hard to love a man

Whose legs are bent and paralysed

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 not around

Oh Ruby

Don’t take your love to town

She’s leaving now cause

I just heard the slamming of the door

The way I know I’ve heard it slam

100 times or more

If I could move I’ve get my gun

And shot her in the ground

Oh Ruby

Don’t take your love to town

Oh Ruby

For God’s sake turn around
