Lovely version by Steve Young on the 'Tulare Dust Songwriters' Tribute to Merle Haggard' cd as well. Shopping for Dresses SHOPPING FOR DRESSES Jimmie Dickens, Merle Haggard, R. Q. Jackson As recorded by Merle Haggard on "Going Where the Lonely Go" (1982) Down through the ages men have died for their women And they've done so, so many times But each time I loved one, I always lost one And I guess the right one is so hard to find. So I'm shopping for dresses with no one to wear them One in each color and one in each style. Maybe someday I'll find me a lady to wear them, And my shopping will be done for awhile. I bet somewhere a lady is shopping for britches Comparing the values and appraising each pair. Maybe someday the good Lord will let us together And we'll both have a new wardrobe to wear. But I'm shopping for dresses with no one to wear them, One in each color and one in each style. Maybe someday I'll find me a lady to wear them, And my shopping will be done for awhile. |
