McMurtry, James - Red Dress Lyrics
Remember when we'd get together
Burn the candle, don't you know?
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no.
This time I'm not gonna miss
This time there ain't no doubt about it
Let me be quite clear on this.
Out the back and down the alley
Gone to get your bucket spiked
Come back when you think you need me
Come back any time you like.
Where'd you get that red dress?
Yes, I'm drunk but, damn, you're ugly
I tell you one thing, yes I will
Tomorrow morning I'll be sober
You'll be just as ugly still.
Where'd you get that red dress?
Where'd you get that red dress?
Where'd you get that red dress?
Where'd you get that red dress?
I don't know what you got going on
But I know I never seen you with that red dress on.
Tell me, where'd you get that red dress?
Where'd you get that red dress?
Watching out the kitchen window
Right here in this old brown chair
Stack the empties on the table
Toss 'em down the basement stairs.
Where'd you get that red dress?
Remember when we'd get together.
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no.

McMurtry, James Red Dress Comments
Somehow I don't remember ever hearing of him. Of course MS has messed with my brain and memories. He and this song were referred to in a book I'm reading so I had to check him out. I'm glad I did!
Genius.
This done in Open G Tuning. The only difference between Double Drop D is the A string is tuned down to A.
The look he gives on 1:45 makes me LOVE him so much! "Yes. I'm drunk, but damn. You're ugly." Double heart-eyed emojis for James!!
RIP EUGENE LEMAS..!!!
Awesome performance
I don't play guitar but it sounds pretty impressive
the things u try to force americans to not do u will see more of try to force not to do u see more of it u might try asking
not me... :!@#~
one of the best songwriters, ever. Thanks James.
Its an older, lawsuit Takamine 12...Double drop D I think. Super genius...there are a couple of shots on youtube with him playing it. Check out Choctaw Bingo with just him and this 12...truly amazing
Just a ladder to her….

It looks like a D35-12 string. I think it's a custom guitar.
might be open D but it doesn't show his fingering long enough for me to tell....drop D at the very least...but who knows...james is the man....who knows what kind of tuning madness he employed here
what's that tuning anyone?
Love the Bruce Walker guitar strap! Flyin Possum Leather! Fayetteville, Ark!
James you are quite the guitar guy, love this song
Great song!
really awsome song, really evil!
