Dumb Blonde lyrics - Dolly Parton
Don't try to cry your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
Your Ole Handy Man lyrics - Dolly Parton
I have to mow the lawn
And I have to wash the car
And I'd just like to know
Just who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of wagging
That old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man
I have to run your water
And I have to wash your back
And I have to scrub the tub
After you have had your bath
You're as helpless as a baby
But I love you, understand
I'm just gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you've got ten fingers
But where's your helpin' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
I do everything for you
You never help yourself
An' I think I'd die from shock
If you raised a hand to help
Well, I'm not gonna keep it up
That's what you got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you got ten fingers
But where's that helpin' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
I Don't Wanna Throw Rice lyrics - Dolly Parton
She married the one I love today
When my back was turned she took him away
Now while they're all outside, waiting to throw rice
What I want to throw will surely black her eyes
'Cause I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love I had
No, I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad
Well I never stole nothin' in my life
But if I get the chance I'll steal him from his wife
'Cause all is fair in love and war, maybe I'm carryin' this too far
But I feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car
No I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love I had
No, I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad
Put It Off Until Tomorrow lyrics - Dolly Parton
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over
That you have found another
You say you're going away
But leave me tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today
I can't believe the words you say
But I must accept the fact
You won't be coming back
Oh stay
Stay just one more day
Loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
I Wasted My Tears lyrics - Dolly Parton
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I should've known
You would never be true
I loved and I lost you
Now I'm so blue
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
You said that you loved me
And would always be true
Now you gone'n left me
Oh, what will I do
Oh, why did you leave me
For somebody new
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I wasted my time
When I spent it with you
But one is so blind
When love is so new
Now out of my fears have come true
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
I wasted my tears
When I cried over you
Something Fishy lyrics - Dolly Parton
There must be something fishy going on
You said you were goin' on a fishin' trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy goin' on
I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never asked me if I'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy goin' on
[Chorus:]
There's something fishy goin' on
On these fishin' trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home alone
Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy goin' on
I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman, honey
I think you're a flirt
Well if you're goin' fishin' then why don't you bring 'em home
I think there's something fishy goin' on
[Chorus]
Yes, you can bet there's something fishy goin' on
Fuel To The Flame lyrics - Dolly Parton
You kindle the fire of love inside me
Each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone
Your kisses make me weak
You must know how I feel
But do you feel the same
Everytime you kiss me
You add fuel to the flame
My eyes light up when I see you
I burn with desire
Each time you're near
You say you'll care
But still I'm not sure
But please don't ask me to love you
If you're not gonna change my name
Everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame
This fire you started inside me
Has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame
That's already burning out of control
When you give me your name
I give you everything
Everytime you kiss me
Adds fuel to the flame
Yes everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame
The Giving And The Taking lyrics - Dolly Parton
I keep on a' givin'
And I took all the takin'
I gave all my love to you
And I took all your hurt
I treated you so good
But you treated me like dirt
They say love is give and take
Now my poor heart is breakin'
I keep on a' givin'
And I took all the takin'
I always gave you everything
That I knew how to give I would for you
I treated you too good for my own good
Now I'm along and left forsaken
I keep on a' givin'
And took all the takin'
The giving and the takin'
Has caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give
And I have taken all that I can take
The giving and the takin'
Has caused my heart to break
I've given all that I can give
And I have takin' all that I can take
I'm In No Condition lyrics - Dolly Parton
Don't look at me with love in your eyes
Go look at somebody that can make it worthwhile
I'm hurt from a love affair I didn't want in
I'm in no condition to try to love again
Don't smile at me because it's no use
'Cause I don't have a smile that I can give to you
Someday, you might look me up, but let me be till then
For I'm in no condition to try to love again
I'm in no condition to try to love again
Man I love just broke my heart
And it must have time to mend
He have me the breeze
Now he's gone with the wind
I'm in no condition to try to love again
I'm in no condition to try to love again
Man I love just broke my heart
And it must have time to mend
He have me the breeze
Now he's gone with the wind
I'm in no condition to try to love again
No, I'm in no condition to try to love again
The Company You Keep lyrics - Dolly Parton
Yes, you're known by the company you keep
You say you're doin' nothing wrong
I don't believe you are
I'm only trying to help you sis
Before you go too far
Cause I think you're an angel
But folks think that you're cheap
Cause you're known by the company you keep
Please listen to your big sister
I feel I know what's best for you
I feel that I must warn you sis
That's the least that I could do
I'm not accusing you of anything
I know it's fun you see
But you're known by the company you keep
The company you keep keeps you out too long
Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home
Sis, you're gettin' in too deep
You'd better look before you leave
Cause you're known by the company you keep
Sis, you're gettin' in too deep
The road of life is steep
And you're known by the company you keep
I've Lived My Life lyrics - Dolly Parton
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
I left the country for the city
Thought I was smart but I was silly
I should've known I'd get in trouble being so green
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
I met a boy and learned to love him
I would have done anything for him
I loved him more than anything I've ever seen
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
Only eighteen but its all over
I ruined my life to please my lover
I made him happy, he made me cry
Then said goodbye
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
Only eighteen but its all over
I ruined my life to please my lover
I made him happy, he made me cry
Then said goodbye
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
The Little Things lyrics - Dolly Parton
You never send me flowers
Or ever buy me candy
You never bring me pretty things
When you come to see me
And you forgot my birthday
Oh I wish you could see
How I miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
You never say that I look nice
Or that you're proud of me
You overlook
The little things
That you should see
These little things are big enough to hurt
But too small to make me want to leave
But I do miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
Now how can I miss flowers
That never reach my door
How can I taste candy
That's still at the candy store
These little things mean a lot to me
To you they may be silly
But I do miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
Yes I miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
19th Amendment lyrics - Dolly Parton
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
August 18, 1920: Woman Suffrage Amendment Ratified
Women have been fighting for the legal right to vote since the 1840's. In 1890 the National American Woman Suffrage Association, NAWSA, was established with Susan B. Anthony its leading force. But women have been fighting for their rights since the very beginning of time
First they said we couldn't dance
Then said we couldn't drink
And unless some man allowed it
They said we couldn't think
They said we shouldn't speak 'til we were spoken to
Well, there was just so much back then We weren't allowed to do
But the first bite of that apple I guess revealed the truth
That's when Eve got smart
And that's why Adam don't like fruit
But that ol' tree of knowledge
Had some limbs that broke
We had to fight for women's rights
They said we couldn't vote
It is the duty of the women of this country to secure for themselves the sacred right to vote
We've carried signs, we've cussed at times
Marched up and down the streets
We had to fight for women's rights
Wore blisters on our feet
We got tired of seein' all our dreams go up in smoke
Burdens more than we could tote
Having lies crammed down our throats
But that ol' dam finally broke
When women finally got the right to vote
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
They said a woman's place
Was staying in her hut
Washin', cookin', cleanin'
Wipin' baby's butts
They said she'd never see the day
We'd equal up to them
But here we are, we've come so far
I guess we sure showed them
The first bite of that apple I guess revealed the truth
That's when Eve got smart
And that's why Adam don't like fruit
But that ol' tree of knowledge
Had some limbs that broke
We had to fight for women's right
They said we couldn't vote
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
We were defiant, I'll admit
But we all knew we couldn't quit
‘Cause the suffrage amendment must be passed
We protested, we cried out
Finally it came about
Ratified by Tennessee, we won at last
And the first bite of that apple
I guess revealed the truth
That's when Eve got smart
And that's why Adam don't like fruit
But that ol' tree of knowledge
Had some limbs that broke
We had to fight for women's rights
We won the right to vote
They thought we were a joke
They tried to dash our hopes
With every word they spoke
They tried to revoke
A woman's right to vote
But we made it!
And August 18, 1920: Woman Suffrage Amendment was ratified
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
(We want the vote)
5 To 9 lyrics - Dolly Parton
Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn, and stretch, and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Working 5 to 9, you've got passion and a vision
'Cause it's hustling time, only way to make a living
Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning
With a website that is worthy of your dreaming
Well, you got dreams and you know they matter
Be your own boss, climb your own ladder
That moment's getting closer by the day
And you're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Launching ideas you all believe in
The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Working 5 to 9, making something of your own now
And it feels so fine to build a business from your know-how
Gonna move ahead and there's nothing that you can't do
When you listen to that little voice inside you, yeah
5 to 9, you've got passion and a vision
'Cause it's hustling time, only way to make a living
Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning
With a website that is worthy of your dreaming
5 to 9, you keep working, working, working
Working 5 to 9, till your dreams come true
Working 5 to 9, you keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
5 to 9, 5 to 9, you can do it
A Smoky Mountain Christmas lyrics - Dolly Parton
I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With the kids around the fireplace stringing popcorn for the tree
I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With nothing much that money buys, but everything worthwhile in life
Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
"You can take the girl from the country" I have heard 'em say
But you'll never take the country from the girl
And me I've been a rambler for the better part of life
But no matter where I ramble in this world
I keep dreaming of a cabin in my Smoky Mountain home
Remembering my life there as a child
Just as free as the butterflies, the hummingbirds and streams
As different as the snowflakes on the windows of my life
And I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With the kids around the fireplace making angels for the tree
I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With nothing much that money buys but everything worth while in life
Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
Yes I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With the kids around the fireplace stringing popcorn for the tree
I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With nothing much that money buys, but everything worthwhile in life
Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
Yes, I'm dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
About Susan, About Your Woman lyrics - Dolly Parton
I know you want to put the blame on me
You want me to be the one to leave
You'd think that I don't know about your plan
But I have always known about Susan
You don't want to tell me how it is
But you've already told me in your kiss
And I just want you to know I understand
And I have always known about Susan
I love you and I want you to be happy
Whether it be with or without me
And if Susan's the one that can love and make you happy
God bless her for loving you for me
You're free to go and you don't owe me nothin'
But in my heart, I know you understand
And I thank you for the time that you spent with me
But I have always known about Susan
I love you and I want you to be happy
Whether it be with or without me
And if Susan's the one that can love and make you happy
God bless her for loving you for me
I have always known about Susan
Almost Too Early For Christmas lyrics - Jimmy Fallon & Dolly Parton
It's almost too early for Christmas
Too soon to be singing this song
There's still Halloween decorations
And haters will say that it's wrong
Let's turn on the lights for Mariah
Tell Rudolph to shine up his nose
It's almost too early for Christmas
But why don't we see how it goes?
Why don't we see how it goes?
So jingle bells
And deck the halls
I'm coming home
I miss you all
I'm giving thanks
For Santa's sleigh
So grab your deer
And make it rain
Even in the autumn weather
We'll be wearing ugly sweaters
So string up the lights (string up the lights)
This time of night (this time of night)
We're having the time of lives (the time of our lives)
It's almost too early for Christmas
Too soon to be singing this song
There's still Halloween decorations
And haters will say that it's wrong
Let's turn on the lights for Mariah
Tell Rudolph to shine up his nose
It's almost too early for Christmas
But why don't we see how it goes?
Window displays all full of snow
Candy cane clouds are comin'
Go... put on your sugar coat
It's...
Almost too early for Christmas (almost too early)
Too soon to be singing this song (singing this song)
There's still Halloween decorations (too early)
And haters will say that it's wrong
Let's turn on the lights for Mariah
Tell Rudolph to shine up his nose
It's almost too early for Christmas
But why don't we see how it goes?
Even in the autumn weather
We'll be wearing ugly sweaters
Can't stop us now (can't stop us now)
It's all around
It's never too early for Christmas
Don't Make Me Have To Come Down There lyrics - Dolly Parton
Last night I had a dream about God
He was standing on a mountain top
Looking down, around in such dismay
And in my dream I heard him say
Don't make me have to come down there
My children, you had best beware
If you don't pay attention, consequences will be dire
Don't make me have to come down there
I've told you time and time again
You can't disobey and hope to win
I am still the boss here, in case there's any doubt
You know I put you in this world, and I can take you out
Don't make me have to come down there
You've always been my cross to bear
I've let you try my patience as all good fathers do
You're on my last nerve, I have had it up to here with you
I gave you a book, you didn't read it (You didn't read it)
I gave you my word, you didn't heed it (You didn't heed it)
Gave you a map, you said you didn't need it (You didn't need it)
And now you've lost direction, and you're wandering aimlessly
Don't make me have to come down there (Don't make me)
This is not a game of truth or dare (Don't make me)
Now, I don't want to punish you, but if it has to be
This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me
Don't make me have to come down there
Bridge this great divide and make repairs
Go to your room and pray 'til you can learn to play fair
Don't make me have to come down there (Come down there)
Politics, earthquakes, erratic weather
Pandemics, war, and hate, still, you'd rather
Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye; I am wondering whether
I should take my Bible belt and whip you into shape
Don't make me have to come down there (Don't make me)
My children, you had best beware (Don't make me)
Clean up this mess and put on something decent to wear
Don't make me have to come down there
(Don't make me have to come down there)
Don't make me have to come down there
My children, you had best beware (Don't make me)
Why can't you learn to listen and learn to love and share?
Don't make me have to come down there
Don't make me have to come down there
Don't make me come down there
Don't make me have to come down there
Don't make me, don't make me
Don't make me have to come down there
Don't make me have to come down there
Don't make me come down there
Don't make me have to come down there
Don't make me, don't make me
Don't make me have to come down there
Faith lyrics - Galantis & Dolly Parton (feat. Mr. Probz)
Know the road gets hard
And you just wanna leave
I ain't ever too far
Just have a little faith in me
When all the fears you hide
Are all you can believe
Oh, I'll be standing by your side
Just have little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Just have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Just have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in, in, in me, me
Have a little faith in, in, in me, me
Have a little faith in, in, in me, me
Just have a little faith in me, me
Have a little faith in, in, in me
Have a little faith in me, in me
Have a little faith in, in, in me
Have a little faith in me, me
When you don't know who you are
I will find you so easily (Oh)
Don't you worry, whenever you need me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in, in, in me (Faith in me)
Have a little faith in, in, in me (Faith in me)
Have a little faith in, in, in, in, in, in, in me
Just have a little faith (Just have a little faith in me)
Have a little
Have a little faith in me, in me
Have a little faith in, in, in me
Have a little faith in me, me
Let me shine and radiate
With your love and light, and help me make
Any change I can in this world today
Just show me the way
Have a little faith (Before we go way back)
Have a little faith (Show me the way)
Have a little faith
Girl Left Alone lyrics - Dolly Parton
There's no room for me
I'm a girl left alone
With fields all around me
I feel so alone
I could tell my story for whom it will urge
But I know I cannot sleep if there's no room for me
I'm a girl left alone
There's no hope for me
I'm tossed and thrown
Like a ship on the sea
There was a mistake and now I will sink
For those that still love me
I must go this way
I hear the great story
Of the great eternity
Where souls can be happy
And I will be free
I know I will suffer
In this world eternity
But in heaven I wonder
If there'll be room for me
God Only Knows (Team Timbo Remix) lyrics - for KING & COUNTRY & Dolly Parton
Wide awake while the world is sound asleep and
Too afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody will believe you
And every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave ya
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody will believe you
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows
There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love
You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them they would leave
But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows
There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love
God only knows
There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love
For the lonely
For the ashamed
The misunderstood and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
For the lonely
For the ashamed
The misunderstood and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
Cause there's a kinda love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
But God only knows the real you
Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows
There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love
God only knows
There's a kind of love that, there's a kind of love
God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through
God only know the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
Gonna Be You lyrics - Dolly Parton, Belinda Carlisle & Cyndi Lauper (feat. Gloria Estefan, Debbie Harry)
(from "80 For Brady" soundtrack)
I'm sticking with you
'Cause I know there's no one else
Who knows me better, holds me together
And everybody else could turn their back on me
But I know that you won't
When I'm feeling like I'm sinkin', sinkin', sinkin'
You're the lifeline that I'm needin', needin', needin'
And you're always there
So I always know
It's gonna be you
Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'
Into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in
You pull me through
Gonna be you
Gonna be you
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're always there for me
Always got my back, I always know that
And everybody else could give up on me
But still, but still, you don't
You're my lifeboat when I'm sinking, sinking, sinking
You're my lifeline when I need it, need it, need it
Yeah, you're always there
So I always know
It's gonna be you
Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'
Into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in
You pull me through
Gonna be you
Gonna be you
When I spin out
When I'm crashin' down
You're the one that pulls me back up again
If everybody
Turns their back on me
You won't
So I always know
It's gonna be you
Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'
Yeah, into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in
You pull me through
Gonna be you (You, you, you, you)
Gonna be you
It's gonna be you
Who comes to my rescue anytime that I'm drowin'
Into the cold deep water, yeah, you're gonna dive in
You pull me through
Gonna be you (Gonna be you, gonna be you, gonna be you)
Gonna be you
Gonna be you
It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels lyrics - Dolly Parton
(originally by Kitty Wells)
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings mem'ries when I was trusting wife
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you wrote in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame
It was't God who made honky tonk angels...
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
Little Blossom lyrics - Dolly Parton
Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before I woke up she'd be home
She said she was going to see Grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
And I guess my mommy fell in there
And perhaps she won't be home tonight
So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It's a great big store full of bottles
And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore
So out in the night with the baby
Her little heart beating with pride
'Til her tired feet entered the gin palace
With music all radiant with light
Oh daddy she cried as she reached him
I think that the music's so sweet
But it's almost suppertime daddy
Little blossom wants something to eat
A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly
Down into her face sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair
A moment a second was over
He lifted her fair golden head
A moment the baby's life trembled
Then poor little blossom was dead
Makin' Believe lyrics - Dolly Parton
(originally by Jimmy Work)
Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
Making believe, its all I can do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
Making believe that I never lost you
But my happy hours are fun and so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe what else can I do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
Mama He's Crazy lyrics - Lainey Wilson & Dolly Parton
(originally by The Judds)
Mama, I found someone
Like you said would come along
He's a sight and so unlike
Any man I've known
I was afraid to let him in
'Cause I'm not the trustin' kind
And now I'm convinced that he's heaven-sent
And must be out of his mind
Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so loved
He beats all I've ever seen
And, Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me
And, Mama, you've always said
"You'd better look before you leap"
Well, maybe so, but here I go
Lettin' my heart lead me
He thinks I hung the moon and stars
And I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men, but ones like him
Are few and far between
Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so loved
He beats all I've ever seen
And, Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me
Oh-oh-oh, Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me
Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8) lyrics - Dolly Parton
Well, good morning, captain
Good morning to you, sir, hey, hey, yeah
Do you need another mule skinner
Down on your new mud run? Hey, hey, yeah
Yodel-a-ee, he-he
He-he, he-he, he-he
I'm a lady mule skinner
From down old Tennessee way, hey, hey, I come from Tennessee
I can make any mule listen
Or I won't accept your pay, hey, hey, I won't take your pay
Yodel-a-ee, he-he
He-he, he-he, he-he
Well, hey, hey, little water boy
Won't you bring your water 'round, hey, hey
If you don't like your job
Well, you can throw your bucket down, throw it down, boy, throw it down
Yodel-a-ee, he-he
He-he, he-he, he-he
Well, I've been working down in Georgia
At a greasy spoon café, hey, been working in Georgia
Just to let a no good man
Call every cent of my pay, hey, hey, and I'm sick of it, I wanna be a mule skinner
Yodel-a-ee, he-he
He-he, he-he, he-he
Yodel-a-ee, he-he
He-he, he-he, he-he
Mule skinner blues
Palms Of Victory lyrics - Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear
I saw a wayward traveler in tattered garments clad
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad
His back was heavy laden, his strength was almost gone
Ηe shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"
The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way
Attracted his attention, inviting his delay
His watchword being "Onward!" he stopped his ears and ran
Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear
I saw him in the evening, the sun was sinking low
He'd overtopped the mountain and reached the vale below
He saw that golden city, his ever lasting home
And shouted loud, "Hosanna! Deliverance will come!"
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear
Peace Like A River lyrics - Dionne Warwick & Dolly Parton
Peace like a river
Bathe me in your holy stream
In your soothing, living waters
Flood my soul and wash me clean
Point me in the right direction
Use me as you think you should
And may I be a great reflection
Of the things that's right and good
Mmm (peace like a river)
Peace like a river
Oh yeah (peace like a river)
He's the answer to our questions
To our prayers, to all things
He is forgiveness to all confessions
Provider of all needs
And he is hope (Yes, he is)
In desperation (Oh, yes)
Comfort to the soul and mind
Well, he's our God and our connection
To a land that transcends time
His hand (his hand)
Is ever-reaching (ever-reaching)
And his joy, beyond compare
Oh, his prayers are ever-teaching
And his burden, a light to bear
He is there and ever-willing
To lead us through the darkest night (Through the darkest night)
And his love is ever-giving
And his son, the guiding light (peace like a river)
Oh, peace like a river
Flowin' on (peace like a river)
Sweet peace (peace like a river)
Sweet peace
Wash me down, Lord
Oh, wash me clean, Lord, wash me clean (Wash me, Lord)
Baptize me in your living water
He's the answer (He is the answer)
To our questions (To our questions)
To our prayers and to all peace
He's the healer of imperfections
The provider of all needs
And He is hope (He is hope)
In desperation (Desperation)
Comfort to the soul and mind (Soul and mind)
He is peace (He's peace)
Like a river (Like a river)
He is yours (He's yours)
And he is mine (He's mine)
He's yours
He's mine
Peace like a river
Please lyrics - Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton
(originally by Elton John)
We've been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry
We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
So please, please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove
So please, please, please, oh, please
Let me grow old with you
We've been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around
We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
(We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down)
So, please, please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove
So, please, please, please, oh, please
Let me grow old with you
But tied to the same track, the two of us look back
At oncoming trains ahead
How many more times can we lay on the line
Watching our love hang by a thread
(So please, please
Let me grow old with you)
After everything we've been through, (what's left to prove)
So please (please), please (please), please, oh, please
Let me grow old with you
Oh, please
Let me grow old with you
Puppy Love lyrics - Dolly Parton
Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love
Pullin' my pig tails makes me mad
When you kiss me, makes me glad
You turn to leave and make me sad
Still you're the sweetest sweetheart I've ever had
Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love
Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love
Sometimes you won't even carry my books
The next time you'll see me you'll rag on my looks
You're meaner to me than a mean ole crook
And I must confess I'm really hooked
Puppy love, puppy love
They all call it puppy love
I'm old enough now to kiss and hug
And I like it, it's puppy love
