Tennessee Ernie Ford - Glad Rags lyrics

rate me

Now honey<br />

You do the the dishes and I'll feed the ol' sow<br />

Also the chickens and our one Jersey cow<br />

Take down your curlers and powder your nose<br />

Big time at Jones' Place so wear your best clothes<br />

<br />

There'll be no evening gowns, not even a tux<br />

They'll come in wagons, buggies and pickup trucks<br />

We'll do square dancing under kerosene lights<br />

We'll wear our glad rags tonight, my honey<br />

We'll wear our glad rags tonight<br />

<br />

Big time at Jones' Place so wear your best clothes<br />

<br />

Sylvester Cunningham will fiddle a tune<br />

Red headed kids will swipe away his spittoon<br />

Then run and hide behind a bale of hay<br />

But that old sittin' hen will scare them away<br />

<br />

Look for me beside the old cider keg<br />

I'll set my cup down and we'll both shake a leg<br />

Never a ballroom had a prettier sight<br />

We'll wear our glad rags tonight, my honey<br />

We'll wear our glad rags tonight
