Faron Young

Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. more »

You have painted up your lips
Rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall
Tell me the sun is going down
Ruby don't take your love to town.

Oh, it wasn't me that started
That old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chores.
And yes I know that I
Am not the man I used to be
Ruby I still need your company.

It's hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralized
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'm not around
Ruby don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now 'cause I just heard
The slamming of a door
The way I know I've heard it slam
A hundred times before
And if I could I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
(Ruby) don't take your love to town.

Ruby for God's sake turn around...
