Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Ruby don't take your love to town (edited video) HQ

I am slipping a quick Kenny Rogers Tribute song from when He was a lot younger and a lead singer with The First Edition, in this current Music Interlude... This song is the song "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town"... and I think you will really enjoy this one from a very different looking Kenny Rogers...

LYRICS:

"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 shadow 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
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and needs of a woman your age, really, I realize
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 heard its slams 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
