ruby don't take your love to town

• leonard nimoy versiyonunu yeni keşfettiğim, çok tatlı ve hüzünlü bir şarkı.
  
  sözleri:
  
  you've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your 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 that started that old crazy asian war
  but i was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
  and yes, it's true that i'm not the man i used to be
  
  oh, ruby,
  i still need your company
  
  it's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
  and the wants and needs of a woman your age, ruby, i realized
  but it won't be long i've heard them say until i'm 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 one hundred times before
  and if i could move i'd get my gun and put her in the ground
  
  oh, ruby,
  don't take your love to town
  
  oh, ruby,
  for god's sake turn around
