C F G7 Dm

1. You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair.

C F G7

Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?

Dm G7 Dm

The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down.

C F C/E Dm tacet C

Dm F G7

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chores.

Dm G7 Dm

And yes it's true, that I'm not the man I used to be.

C F C/E Dm tacet C

Oh, Ruby, I still need some company.

C F G7 Dm

2. It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralized.

C F G7

And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize.

Dm G7 Dm

But it won't be long I heard them say until I'm not around.

C F C/E Dm tacet C

Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

C F C/E Dm tacet

Oh Ruby, for God's sake turn around.
