Lyrics:

You've painted up your lips and,
rolled and curled your tinted hair,
Ruby are you contemplating,
goin' 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 chores,
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 paralised,
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age,
Ruby, I realise,
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 leavin' now,
cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know,
I've heard it slam one hundred times before,
If I could move,
I 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...

Kenny truly expanded his range of audience with this great hit. BTW who is that hottie with the tamborines?

[spsyed]

@rickyschultzusa , That must be Ruby, surely!!! ;-)

[llynnowens]

Running around on a paralyzed veteran? Damn Ruby, that's cold.

OK, so we now know this is Mary Arnold. Trivia time! Mary Arnold, originally from Iowa, beat out Karen Carpenter for the part in Kenny's First Edition. Can you imagine - The Carpenters would NEVER have happened if Kenny picked Karen! Kenny introduced Mary to Roger Miller. Mary and Roger later married.
