Don't Get Married

Don't Get Married - Merle Haggard

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

And 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
