'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town' is a song written by Mel Tillis which was made world famous by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition in 1969. The song is about a disabled, dying veteran of the Korean War, who begs his lover not to cheat on him. Tillis based the song on a couple who lived near his family in Florida. In real life, the man was wounded in Germany in World War II and sent to recuperate in England. There he married a nurse who took care of him at the hospital. The two of them moved to Florida shortly afterward, but he had periodic return trips to the hospital as problems with his wounds kept flaring up. His wife saw another man as the veteran lay in the hospital. Tillis changed the war to the more recent Korean War in the song. The video simply shows the band preforming the song in Jul 1969.
