Ruby tu reviens au pays
Love's Battle: Ruby's Dilemma Unveiled
Lyrics
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
You've dressed up and prepared yourself, emphasizing your lips and hair.
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
Ruby, are you considering going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down
The shadows indicate that the day is ending.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby, please don't take your love to town.
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
I didn't initiate the Asian war, but I proudly fulfilled my patriotic duty.
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
I acknowledge that I've changed since then.
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be.
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
Ruby, I still need companionship despite my changes.
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
Loving a man with physical challenges is difficult.
And the wants and needs of a woman your age really I realize
I understand the desires and needs of a woman your age.
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around
But it won't be long until I'm not here anymore.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby, please don't take your love to town.
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
She's leaving, and I recognize the sound of the slamming door.
The way I know I heard its slams one hundred times before
I've heard that slamming sound many times before.
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
If I could move, I'd take drastic measures, but I can't.
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby, please don't take your love to town.
Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around
Oh Ruby, for God's sake, reconsider and turn around.
