Merle Haggard — Dont Get Married

[Verse] Julie, they've taken me to prison I pulled a gun and robbed the jewelry store The only thing I took was that big diamond You know the one you said you wished was yours [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Don't get married, Julie, wait for me Don't get married 'cause someday I'll be free [Verse] 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 prayed that you also wanted me [Chorus] Don't get married, Julie, wait for me Don't get married 'cause someday I'll be free
