About the Song
"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" is a song written by Mel Tillis which was made famous by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition in 1969. "Ruby" was originally recorded in 1967 by Johnny Darrell, who scored a top ten country hit with it that spring. Waylon Jennings cut a version and had a minor hit the same year. Other performers, including Roger Miller, Leonard Nimoy[1], CAKE, The Killers and Wolfsheim have recorded the song, but no others have had a major hit with it. In 1969, after Kenny Rogers and the First Edition's success with the hits "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" and "But You Know I Love You", Rogers wanted to take his group more into a country music direction. They recorded their version of the song (with Rogers singing the lead) in one take. The record was a major hit for them. It made #1 in the UK on the New Musical Express (#2 on the BBC chart).    Download this sheet!
