Rocky Top lyrics - Dolly Parton
Well, I wish that I was on old Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Cause there ain't no smog, no smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bill
Now but once I had me a man on Rocky Top
Half bear the other half cat
Well, he was wild as a mink
But he was sweet as soda-pop
And I often think about that
Oh Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home-sweet-home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Now once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
And some say they never will
Did you know corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top?
The dirt's too rocky by far
And that's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar
Oh Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home-sweet-home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Now I've had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped luck a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a dad-burn pitty
Life can't be simple again
Oh Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home-sweet-home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Tennessee, Rocky Top
Sent From Above lyrics - Dolly Parton
It's you I go to
The one I talk to
'Cause you know how to
Restore my faith
I know you will be
Forever with me
I've been through hell
To find this heaven
I believe we'll last
Sent from above
I know you must
Be heaven-sent
And I love you ever so much
Sent from above
I know you must
Be heaven-sent
And I love you ever so much
Sent from above
Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, mm-mm-mm
Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, mm-mm-mm
And I soar on angel wings
It's heaven when we touch
And I will never give you up
Sent from above
I know you must
Be heaven-sent
And I love you ever so much
Sent from above
I know you must
Be heaven-sent
And I love you ever so much
Sent from above
Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, mm-mm-mm
Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, mm-mm-mm
From above, from above
Sent from above
From above, from above
Sent from above
Sent from above
Silent Night lyrics - Dolly Parton
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round young virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth, Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Silent night...
Something Bigger Than Me lyrics - Dolly Parton
(from "Annabelle's Wish" soundtrack)
Yesterday I laid in my bed
Made up my mind to stay there instead
Fighting the same old fight
That I always lose by night
Somehow, sometime mid-afternoon
As the sunshine lit up my room
Somethin' made me sigh
And get up for one more try
Something bigger than me, braver than me
Helps me to face the day
Helps me to find my way
And makes me believe
That I'll be okay
Somethin' greater than me, wiser than me
Shows me where I go wrong
Knows when I'm down too long
And gives me the hope
I need to be strong
Something I can't explain
Soothes me like summer rain
Listens when I complain
Even in my dreams
Somethin' bigger than me, kinder than me
Loves me the way I am
And in some wondrous plan
Helps me to be the best that I can
Something I never doubt
Knows what I'm all about
Says it will all work out
Even in my dreams
Something bigger than me, that's what I see
Each time a chance comes by
Or somebody new says "Hi"
Or I start to laugh when I thought I'd cry
When miracles happen, I always know why
What could it be
But somethin' bigger than me?
The Last Word In Lonesome Is Me lyrics - Dolly Parton (feat. Alison Krauss)
(originally by Roger Miller)
The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me
Too bad what's happened to our good love
Too bad what's happened to our good love
Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough
And the last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me
Life is a desert and love quenches thirst
Life is a desert and love quenches thirst
We all have to hurt sometimes, this is my first time
And the last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome, well it's me
And Roger, we will always love you...
Two Little Orphans lyrics - Dolly Parton
Two little children a boy and a girl
Sat by and old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore
The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn
They shone beneath his blue eyes
Why don't you go home to your mommy I said
And this was the maidens reply
Mommy's is heaven angels took her away
Left Jim and I all alone
We've no one to love us daddy is dead
And our darling mother is gone
Mommy got sick angels took her away
To dwell in those matins so bright
She said she would come for her children someday
And I guess she's coming tonight
The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for the orphans to dwell
Up in heaven with their mommy that night
We Irish lyrics - Dolly Parton
We Irish love to sing
We Irish love to dance
We Irish love to party
Whener' we get the chance
We have a lot of troubles
But we have a lot of soul
We'll drink a pint of Guinness
And forget about our woes
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
We love our myths and stories
We love a mournful song
We love our joyful music
And a good old sing-a-long
We love our pennywhistle
Uilleann pipes and air bodhrán
We Irish love our football
Our heroes and our homes
We Irish love to sing
We Irish love to dance
We Irish love to party
Whener' we get the chance
We have a lot of troubles
But we have a lot of soul
We'll drink a pint of Guinness
And forget about our woes
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
We Irish love St. Patty
We love to celebrate
And nothing suits us better than
An all-out green parade
Green beer and hats and jackets
Green dresses, shirts and ties
And nothing could be brighter
Than the light in Irish eyes
We got a pub on every corner
And a church to worship in
We party hard then pray the Lord
Forgive us of our sins
We rid ourselves of grief and guilt
Relieve our troubled hearts
I know God loves the Irish
And accepts us as we are
We Irish love to sing
We Irish love to dance
We Irish love to party
Whener' we get the chance
We have a lot of troubles
But we have a lot of soul
We'll drink a pint of Guinness
And forget about our woes
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
We Irish love to sing
We Irish love to dance
We Irish love to party
Whener' we get the chance
We have a lot of troubles
But we have a lot of soul
We'll drink a pint of Guinness
And forget about our woes
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
When Life Is Good Again lyrics - Dolly Parton
When life is good again
I'll be a better friend
A bigger person when
Life is good again
More thoughtful than I've been
I'll be so different then
More in the moment when
Life is good again
I'll open up my heart
And let the whole world in
I'll try to make amends
When life is good again
We've been brought to our knees
We've been so ill at ease
There are no guarantees
But you know life goes on
This too shall pass away
Bring new and different days
We need to change our ways
And right our wrongs
Let's open up our hearts
And let the whole world in
Let's try to make amends
When life is good again
I'll open up my doors again
And hear the message in the wind
Repent of all my sins (Hallelujah)
When life is good again
I'll try to be someone
On which you can depend
A helping hand to lend
Let's open up our eyes
And see what's goin' on
If we're to move along
From where we've been
Let's open up our hearts
And let the love shine in (Shine in)
We've all got knees to bend
And we'll just pray till then
Ask God's forgiveness when
Life is good again
And it's gonna be good again
(It's gonna be, it's gonna be)
It's gonna be good again
It'll be alright (It'll be alright)
God's the reason for all things
You want rainbows, you get rain
We'll all be forever changed (Forever changed)
I'll sail my boat and fly my kite
Walk in the park, go out at night
And hold my loved ones extra tight
When everything is on the mend
I'll eat and drink with my old friends
Sing and play my mandolin
We'll make it through this long dark night
Darkness fades when faced with light
But everything's gonna be alright
When life is good again
Mama lyrics - Dolly Parton
Mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
She's good about resolving family drama
A friend, our guiding light
She's daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives
Mama
The one that never sleeps 'til all's in bed
The one that never eats 'til all are fed
Her never-ending love,
Her gentle, caring touch
She never asked for much
Mama
Oh mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel heaven knows
Mama
Mama you will always be
The very core and heart of me
And even though you're gone
I see your love in everything
When I look in my children's eyes
It makes me think and realize
What you've done to enrich my life
I hope I can do the same
Oh mama, the one who wipes the noses and the tears
Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel heaven knows
Mama
A friend, our guiding light
She's daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives
Mama
An angel in our lives
Sweet mama
Oh mama
Mmm-hmm
I love you, mama
Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
She's good about resolving family drama
A friend, our guiding light
She's daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives
Mama
The one that never sleeps 'til all's in bed
The one that never eats 'til all are fed
Her never-ending love,
Her gentle, caring touch
She never asked for much
Mama
Oh mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel heaven knows

She's daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives

An angel in our lives
Sweet mama
