I believe this tab is mostly accurate, the only questionable part being
the (pre)ending strum pattern]

Lyrics

Verse 1
-------
F# A F# A F#
Put on that dress - I'm going out dancing
F# B F# B F#
Starting off red - clean and sparkling he'll see me
F#
Music playing make it dreamy for dancing -
A F# A F#
must be a way that I can dress to please him
F#
It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy -
B F# B F#
I'm spilling over like a heavy loaded fruit tree
Verse 2
-------
F# A F# A F#
It's sad to see - lonely all this lonely
F# B F# B F#
Close up my eyes - dreamy dreamy music make it be alright
F#
Music play make it good for romacing -
A F# A F#
must be a way I can dress to please him
F#
Swing and sway everything'll be alright -
B F# B F#
but it's feeling so damn tight tonight
Verse 3
-------
F#
Filthy tight, the dress is filthy -
A F# A F#
I'm falling flat and my arms are empty
F#
Clear the way better get it out of this room -
B F# B F#
a falling woman in dancing costume
Chorus
------
B
If you put it on
A F#
If you put it on
B
If you put it on
G F#
If you put it on
Interlude
---------
A F# A A F# A
"You purdy thang," My man says,
A F# A A F# A
"But I bought you beautiful dresses."
