Country radio stations by 1969 were running a parody of this song called "Chubby, don't bring the truck to town", along with the parody of Johnny Cash - "Girl named Harry"

@wornoutofLondon You detect anger where none exists. I was merely sharing my view on America's immoral occupation of Vietnam and pondering on the irony of America than getting their asses kicked for them by a people they wrote off as backward and primitive.

@eezysqueezy wooow angry person, why so much anger?

@Blaubeerwald1 The vets I respect from Vietnam and the Viet Cong dudes who lived in forest, ate bugs and wore pyjamas....yet STILL managed to kick the asses of the imperialist shitbags who waded into their business for no reason.

@eezysqueezy Sounds cynical to me. Not much respect for Vietnam vets and their families. In my opinion, Ruby isn't a whore, but a desperate young woman who is hungry for live. She's also a victim of war, like her man.

@Blaubeerwald1 The war didn't make Ruby a big old whore now, did it? Nah.....it's a song about some bitch who left a war vet because he was suffering a sever case of permanent limp dick.

@eezysqueezy It's not about a slut, it's about war destroying lives.

"if i could move i'd get my gun and put her in the ground"
