Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Don't Get Married

Julie they've taken me to prison I pulled the gun and robbed the jewelry store

The only thing I took was that big diamond

You know the one you said you wish was yours

The diamond in the window called for money the price was just too much for me to pay

But the price I'm paying now is so much bigger oh Julie don't I have the right to say

Don't get married Julie wait for me don't get married cause someday I'll be free

Julie when I serve the time they gave me

I'll walk out through the gates and I'll be free

I hope you didn't only want the diamond cause I pray that you also wanted me

Don't get married Julie wait for me don't get married cause someday I'll be free
