Shoes And Dress That Alice Wore Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

I'm humming as I walk this house and do my daily chores 

When I put the broom away I see the dress that Alice wore 

It's hanging in the closet sadly sagging without form 

Empty dress there in the closet held a body soft and warm 

Shoes and dress that Alice wore 

It's the dress she wore the night she caught me lying there beside 

Some strange woman meaning nothing just some bones and hair and hide 

I could pot explain it to her and I cannot to this day 

Now I stand here staring at the dress she wore to go away 

Shoes and dress that Alice wore

And the shoes are red and shiny and they're modest in the heel 

And the dress a bad investment and the color could be teal 

She went screaming from the room where I lay blinking in the nude 

With the woman there beside me saying ain't this woman rude 

Shoes and dress that Alice wore

So, I asked the undertaker in a private kind of way 

Before you close the casket when our friends have gone away 

If it's not too strange to reason I would make one last request 

Since it all goes in the ground I'd like to have the shoes and dress 

Shoes and dress that Alice wore 

So, I'm humming as I walk this house
