Sides face grand square
You painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
Allemande left and weave the ring
The shadows on the wall tell me
The sun is going down (Sing with me now)
Oh Ruby
(What's the last line kids?), don't take your love to town

(Quickly) Four ladies chain, Head (Side) couples pass the ocean
Extend, lady trade, swing thru then
Boy you run right and bend the line
Reverse that flutter my friend, sweep 1/4 more
You make a left hand star, let's turn it one full turn
Reach back behind you boys, take corner and promenade
Oh Ruby
(Sing with me, what's the last line), don't take your love to town

Sides face grand square
It's hard to love a man
Who's legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize
Allemande left and weave the ring
It won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around
(This is where you sing with me kids) Oh Ruby
(Sing that last line) *Don't take your love to town

Sides face grand square
She's leaving now cuz I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam a hundred times before, somewhere
Allemande left and weave the ring
If I could get up I'd turn that girl around (Sing with me kids)
Oh Ruby, (What's the last line kids?)
Don't take your love to town

Four ladies chain across and back
(Everybody sing it with me)
Oh Ruby
For God's sake turn around
