2. It`s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
   And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
   But it won't be long i've heard them say until I not around
   Oh Ruby
   Don't Take your love to town
   
      Em                              D
R: It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war

   But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
       Em                              A7              Em
   And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be

   Oh Ruby
                          D
   I still need some company.
   
4. She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' 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
   For god's sake turn around!
