"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" is a song written by Mel Tillis about a paralyzed veteran who lies helplessly as his wife "paints [herself] up" to go out for the evening without him; he believes she is going in search of a lover. As he hears the door slam behind her, he claims that he would murder her if he could move to get his gun, and pleads for her to reconsider. A line in the song about a "crazy Asian war" and the time of the song's release led to the assumption the song was about a veteran of the Vietnam War, though this was never stated in the lyrics. However, Tillis stated that the song was about a veteran of World War II.

  • "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" é uma canção escrita por Mel Tillis sobre um veterano paralisado de uma "guerra asiática louca" (dado o tempo de seu lançamento, amplamente assumido - mas nunca explicitamente declarado - como a Guerra do Vietnã) que deita-se impotente na cama ou senta-se impotente na cadeira de rodas enquanto sua esposa "se pinta" para sair à noite sem ele; ele acredita que ela está procurando um amante e, quando ouve a porta bater atrás dela, pede que ela reconsidere. A música ficou famosa por Kenny Rogers e The First Edition em 1969. "Ruby" foi gravado originalmente por Waylon Jennings em 1966. Johnny Darrell alcançou a posição número nove nas parada Billboard Hot Country Singles em 1967. (pt)
