Lyrics of Leonard Nimoy's songs

~ Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating
Going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall
Tell 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
Now 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 the 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 sakes, turn around
