Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town

Youve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
你早已染上口紅並卷好染了色的頭髮
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
Ruby，你準備去哪兒呢
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
圍牆上的倒影表明夜幕即將來臨
Oh Ruby, dont take your love to town
噢，Ruby，請不要將你的愛帶去城中

你知道不是我挑起了那場極度瘋狂的亞洲戰
It wasnt me that started that old crazy Asian war
但我為參戰而自豪，儘管那是些掛著愛國幌子的雜務
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
確實如此，曾經的我消失得無影無踪
And yes, its true that Im not the man I used to be
噢，Ruby，可我依舊需要你的陪伴
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
沒人會愛上一個雙腿彎曲且癱瘓的男人

似你這般年齡女人的慾望和渴求，Ruby，我了然於心
Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
我聽旁人說那時間不會太久，直至我不在你左右
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize
噢，Ruby，請不要將你的愛帶去城中
But it wont be long Ive heard them say until I not around
我知道她正要離去，因為我聽到門砰的一聲
Oh Ruby, dont take your love to town
過去我無數次聽到這砰砰的聲音

如果我能動彈一丁點兒的話，我一定會拿起槍使她長眠於地
Shes leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
噢，Ruby，請不要將你的愛帶入城中
The way I know Ive heard it slam some 100 times before
哦，Ruby...看在上帝的份上，回頭吧
And if I could move Id get my gun and put her in the ground
Bugs
Oh Ruby, dont take your love to town

Oh Ruby... For gods sake turn around
