As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1969 Album (MARGIE'S AT) THE LINCOLN PARK INN AND OTHER CONTROVERSIAL COUNTRY SONGS) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C                                            F                  C
You have painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

                           F             G
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere

    F                               G
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is goin' down

   C F          G                 C     F  G
Oh Ruby   don't take your love to town
[Verse 2]
     C                                 F            G7
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized

        C                                       F         G
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize

       F                                   G
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around

   C F          G                 C
Oh Ruby   don't take your love to town
[Bridge]
       Dm                              F           C
For it wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war

    Dm                          F         G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores

   F                            G                    C F          G              C   D
Oh I know Ruby that I'm not the man I used to be but Ruby I still need your company
[Verse 3]
D                                               G               A
And she's leaving now cause I've just heard the slamming of the door

    D                                 G               A
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before

   G                             A
If I could move I get my gun and put her in the ground

   D G        A                 D    G
Oh Ruby don't take your love to town

      A                 D
Don't take your love to town
