Wabash Cannon Ball lyrics - Dolly Parton
It's good to be back home again at the Sevier Tennessee
I'm awful glad to see you hope you're glad to see me
Now I'd like to say I love you I welcome to you all
Now I know I stole this steam from the Wabash Cannonball
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
Up the hills and down the mountains and the valleys to the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all
She's a mighty famous thing called the Wabash Cannonball (Pete Drake)
Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
That's that train from Tennessee boys she's long and she's tall
She's a famous choo-choo train called the Wabash Cannonball (yodel)
You Gotta Be My Baby lyrics - Dolly Parton
Oh you said you were my baby
Now I know that you're my baby
But it seems to be you got roamin' eyes
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
You can't keep your finger in two different lives
I remember how you pleaded
When my love you said you needed
And I believe without a doubt
So if you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And keep those kissin' cousins out
Oh you know how when I said I was a'rollin' low?
I get suspicious and I'm a'gonna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine
Just think about it
Now I heard there was another
So I went and asked your mother
If anybody hung around besides me
She gave me no satisfaction
And now I can't take no action
But I think I'll hang around and see
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
You gotta come to me and tell me so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
I'm tired of waitin' around so let them know
Oh how when I said that I'm a Rollin low
I'm gunna get suspicious and I'm gunna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine
I said and be nobody's baby but mine
And I mean it!
Tall Man lyrics - Dolly Parton
Oh I wish I was a kissin' tree a growin' in the ground
And every time my sweet pass by I'd throw some kisses down
And if he wants more kisses here's all he has to do
Just come up here that kissin' tree and I'll give him some kissin' to
I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only man for me
Now I wish I was a kissin' tree out on the lone prairie
And everytime my sweet pass by he'd steal a kiss from me
And if he wants more kisses here's all he has to know
Just plant me down in a Texas town and watch them kisses grow
I love a tall man he ain't a small man my man is all man and the only man for me
And the only one for me ooh
Medley: Dumb Blonde / Something Fishy / Put It Off Until Tomorrow lyrics - Dolly Parton
I'd like to do the first hit record that I had
And it's a song that goes like this
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
You've hurt me enough today
Oh, thank you
Thank you so much
I'd like to do a little medley now
Some songs that I've wrote and recorded
And had, different country artist to record
I hope maybe that you might enjoy 'em
Here's one that goes like this, called "Something Fishy"
I think there's something fishy going on
There's something fishy going on
From these fishing trips you're going on
Now I'm sick and tired of staying home alone
Some night when you come home you'll discover that I'm gone
And you can bet there's something fishy going on
Thank you
Thank you so much, you're all finesse
I'd like to do a song that my Uncle Bill owns
That I was telling you about a little earlier, "Hit me right"
And it goes like this
Put it off until tomorrow, woah, woah
You've hurt me enough today
You say, our love is over
And that you have found another
Now you say you're going away
Oh but leave me tomorrow, woah, woah
You've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today
I can't believe the word you say
But I must accept the fact
You won't be coming back
Oh, stay, stay just one more day
Loneliness, isn't fun all way
Put it off until tomorrow, woah, woah
You've hurt me enough today
Thank you
Thank you, thank you so much
My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy lyrics - Dolly Parton
From a shack by a mountain stream
To a room in New Orleans
So far from my Blue Ridge Mountain home
The men I meet ain't warm and friendly
Like the one in old Virginie
Oh they ain't real like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
I was just a little past eighteen
When I came to New Orleans
I'd never been beyond my home state line
There was a boy who loved me dearly
But I broke his heart severely
When I left my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Life was dull in my hometown
Lights were out when the sun went down
And I thought that city life was more my style
But nights get lonely away from home
And it's easy to go wrong
The men ain't kind like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
New Orleans held things in store
Things I'd never bargained for
And every night a different man knocks on my door
But late at night when all is still
I can hear a whippoorwill
As I cry for my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Oh but I can never go back home
Since the boy I love is gone
He grew tired of waiting for me to return
They say he married last October
But I never will get over
Oh the sweet love of my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Y'All Come lyrics - Dolly Parton
When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and they'll never ever leave you
Y'all come to see us bye and bye
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us when you can
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us now and then
Now Grandma's a-wishing you'd come out the kitchen
And help do the dishes right away
Then they all start a-leaving, and though she's a-grieving
You can still hear grandma say
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us when you can
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us now and then
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us when you can
Y'all come (y'all come), y'all come (y'all come)
Oh, you all come to see us now and then
Bloody Bones lyrics - Dolly Parton
This is a story that I wrote
And I know that all around Sevierville
And around in the mountains, people have big families
And it's kinda hard to get them into bed at night
So, I guess I'll love you for me with bloody bones and scratch eyes
And the Boogerman, right? (Yeah, I heard)
But I like to do a song now that, not a song
I'd like to tell my little story and it goes like this
And I'll dedicate this to my mama
Even though she meant well, she done this to us
Now there was 12 of us kids
And all day long we'd fight and we'd scratch
And we'd scratch and we'd fight
But mama never had any trouble getting all of us into bed at night
'Cause dear old mama, bless her heart
She done the best she could
But mama had the awfulest way of making us be good
She'd tell us that raw head bloody bone was waiting just outside
That he'd come in and get us, if he knew I was crying
And he'd scare us all to death if the dogs outside get to barking, woo
There where times we hear daddy cough, we'd think it's bloody bone harken
Oh me
And when we got up to something mean, well mama she smelled the rat
She'd scratch on the wall and she'd say, "Lisa, what was that?"
Then we'd all get scared, and we'd dive underneath the cover
And we'd make us a little airhole and stick our nose out
Just enough so we wouldn't smother
And every night, one of the kids would wet in the bed
But mama, she never did understand why
But I wasn't about to get out of bed and take a change
I wasn't about to get out of bed and take a change
And step on, bone old scratch eye, oh me
Well, I'll get in the bed, you see
And I'll cover up my head and I put my fingers in my ears
So I couldn't hear the Boogerman that was breathing under the bed
'Cause I know if I get out of that bed that the devil would get me by the hard hand, oh me!
And now that we'd sleep four and five in the bed
And we get scared we'd all screecher
And it be below zero in our old house
But we'd just be burn up
And when we did drift off to sleep
We'd just lay there, and we'd glut and we'd moan
'Cause we was dreaming 'bout that bloody bones
And that scratch eyes and that Boogerman
There was a beast in us in our home, you see
And now that's been a long, long time ago
And now that I'm grown
You know, I still ain't sure that there's not a Boogerman
And a scratch eyes and a raw head bloody bone
Thank you
Run That By Me One More Time lyrics - Dolly Parton
Run that by me one more time
To make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb
And I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time?
Well, you're late again, I see
What's your excuse this time?
Don't you try to kiss and make up
When you smell so strong from wine
Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
You need to wind Big Ben
Honey, that's not wine you smell
That's aftershave for men
Would you run that by me one more time?
What happened to the money
I gave you to pay the rent?
The rent is overdue
And we ain't got one red cent
I put it in the cookie jar
The day you brought it home
One day when I came back from town
I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone!
Would you run that by me one more time?
Jeannie's Afraid Of The Dark lyrics - Dolly Parton
Her two little feet would come running into
Our bedroom almost every night
Her soft little face would be wet from her tears
And her little heart pounding with fright
She'd hold out her arms, then she'd climb in beside us
In her small voice, we'd hear her remark
"Mommie and Daddy, can I sleep here with you
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
One day in the summer, we took some flowers
To place on some old family graves
Jeannie said, "Mommy, ain't it dark in the ground
Oh, Daddy, I'd be so afraid"
Then she looked up at her daddy and me
And said somethin' that broke both our hearts
She said, "When I die, please don't bury me
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark
And we never could understand why
'Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care
Because Jeannie was our only child
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of
'Cause it took her one dark stormy night
I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown
'Cause it seemed she was destined to die
But on Jeannie's grave, we placed an eternal flame
That glows and never loses its spark
And on the darkest night, there's always a light
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Tomorrow Is Forever lyrics - Dolly Parton
Take my hand and run with me
Out of the past called yesterday
And walk with me into the future of tomorrow
Yesterday must be forgot
No looking back no matter what
There's nothing there but mem'ries that bring sorrow
Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever
No more crying tears leave tracks
And mem'ries find their way back
Tomorrow's waiting let's journey there together
Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever
I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today
Yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting
We must forget the passing time
My love for you is the real kind
The kind that won't hurt you, oh never
Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever
Yesterday is gone, gone, but tomorrow is forever
Two Sides To Every Story lyrics - Dolly Parton
Two sides to every story we can't stay this out if we'll take time
Two sides to every story you tell yours and I tell mine
Well where were you last night when I came home
When I came in you were out and gone
Well I waited up till up to two then I went downtown to look for you
So how's about tellin' me where you were at
Well me and the boys stopped off for a drink or two
(Now ain't you a pretty thing)
Well we got to drinkin' and I guess that time just flew
Well the time must've flown for you alright
Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night
And I told myself I ain't a puttin' up to that
There's always two sides to every story...
You said you went downtown to look for me
Did you have to dress up fancy as could be
You know I never leave the house you know jacky clothes lookin' like slut
And I's downtown just to look in my best for you
Now I'm not accusin' you of doin' wrong
But that's awful late for you to be out and gone
Now look who's talkin' bout bein' late and I wasn't about to sit and wait
Why you were at that when with no tellin' who
There's always two sides to every story...
There's always two sides to every story...
How Great Thou Art lyrics - Dolly Parton
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
Now I see the stars and I hear the rolling thunder
Thy art throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee how great Thou art oh how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee how great Thou art how great Thou art
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
To take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall kneel in humble adoration and there proclaim my God how great Thou art
Then sings my soul...
Daddy Come And Get Me lyrics - Dolly Parton
In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars
How could he put me in here, how could he go that far
Yes I need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start
But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart
Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you
I'm depending on you Daddy, there's nothing I can do
And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need
But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me
When he said he loved another, I was crazy with jealousy
That's 'cause I was crazy over him and I couldn't stand to set him free
And I couldn't stand to lose him and I cried and cried for days
And he said that I was crazy but he just put me in here to get me out of his way
Daddy come and get me
Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you
I'm depending on you Daddy 'cause there's nothing else I can do
And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need
But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me
Oh Daddy, come and get me
Chas lyrics - Dolly Parton
Chas I cook your a breakfast and send you to work
I mend your clothes Chas I iron your shirts
There's so much thought in each thing that I do
And all of the time Chas I'm loving you
And I greet you each evening Chas when you come home
I miss you so badly while you are gone
And if I make you happy then I'm happy too and all of the time Chas I'm loving you
Chas I rock your babies I teach them to talk
I care for your wife Chas because she can't walk
I do all the things she's unabled to do and all of the time Chas I'm loving you
I want you so much but your wife need you Chas
You'll never be mine and I'll never ask
I know that you love her and I love her too but all of the time Chas I'm loving you
I look at you Chas you look at me but what I am thinking must never be
I love you so much and it's hard to resist
I want you but I I couldn't take you from sis
But all of the time Chas I'm loving you
When Possession Gets Too Strong lyrics - Dolly Parton
I can't live with you when you try to own me
Though you may give me love like I have never known
But if you try to control me then you won't never know me
And I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
So love me just for what I am don't try to change a thing
And I'll take you just like you are and I'll expect the same
So if you want to love me you must understand all of me
For I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
And I have no control over what I feel inside
And I can't change the way I am and you must be satisfied
So if you think you can't be without place and chance on me
Then I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
I have no control...
I'll be movin' on when possession gets too strong
Before You Make Up Your Mind lyrics - Dolly Parton
Before you make up your mind to leave me
Before you make up your mind to walk out the door
Before you telle me that it's all over
Let me say what I have to say it won't take me all day
And if you still wanna leave don't stay for I won't try to hold you anymore
Does she really love you way that I love you
Does she treat you right even when you've done wrong
If she's woman enough to forgive you way that I'm willing to
If she ain't then don't go for I still love you so we all make mistakes I know
Give these thoughts a little time before you make up your mind
Does she really love you way that I love you
Will she treat you right even when you do wrong
If she's woman enough to forgive you way that I'm willing to
If she ain't then don't go for I still love you so we all make mistakes I know
Give these thoughts a little time before you make up your mind
Give these thoughts a little time before you make up your mind
I'm Doing This For Your Sake lyrics - Dolly Parton
Someone else's arms will hold you my darling baby girl
I'll never get to see the child I've brought into this world
Because I made one mistake folks say that I'm bad
But they just don't understand the way I loved your dad
Now I thought your daddy loved me I was so sure he did
And so I gave him all my love and he said we would wed
But I guess he must chenged his mind cause she left town one day
When he found out about you he just stopped and ran away
In this home so far away from home I leave my heart today
Cause home where the heart is and with you my heart will stay
Because I love you so much why I can't make you pay
So I'm doing this for your sake I'm giving you away
But You Loved Me Then lyrics - Dolly Parton
Remember all the castles that we once built in the sand
Remember how we used to go and visit fairy land
Remember how we'd search for that pot of gold at the rainbow's end
But you loved me then
And the flowers the we picked from the fields where we did run
And the sunbeams that we'd catch from the summer's golden sun
And the butterflies we'd chase as we'd go running through the wind
But you loved me then
Now I walk through the ruins of our castles in the sand
When you left I lost my way forever and the fairy land
Now the rainbows have all gone and the flowers have all died
And the sunbeams that we caught have all gone free again
And the butterfiles we chased have all gone with the wind
And you no longer care but you love me then
(And you no longer care) but you love me then
(And you no longer care) but you love me then
