Ruby    (LM 355 )  Mike Bramlett
(Be cautious the timing on this song is tricky)

OPENER

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 l ast line kids?), don’t take your love to town.

FIGURE

(Quickly)   Four Ladies Chain, Head (Sides) couples Pass The Ocean,

Extend Lady Trade, Swing Thru then, Boy you Run Right and Bend The line

Reverse that Flutter my friend, Sweep ¼ 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.

MIDDLE BREAK
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 whare you sing with me kids) Oh Ruby, (sing that last line)

don’t take your love to town.

(I still need your company)

CLOSER

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’s turn that girl around (Sing With Me Kids),

Oh Ruby,(What’s the l ast line kids?), don’t take your love to town.

TAG

Four Ladies Chain Across and Back

,(Everybody Sing it with me), Oh Ruby…… For God’s sake turn around.
