Ruby
(LM 355) Mike Bramlett
OPENER
Grand Square
You painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair,
uby 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 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
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
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
(Everybody Sing it with me), Oh Ruby... For God’s sake turn around.
