Merle Haggard Don't Get Married Lyrics

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
[ ac.guitar ]
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
