A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
These are all my possessions all I have to my name
And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
I turned on the radio and I heard a song by Dolly Parton. And she was singing: Oh! I feel so sad! I feel so bad! I left my mom and I left my dad. And I just want to go home now. I just want to go back in my Tennessee mountain home now.
Well, you know she's not gonna go back home. And I know she's not gonna go back home. And she knows she's never gonna go back there...
She's not my kinda singin' but she's done more good with her $$$ than a few billionaires I could name. Encouraging kids to read? That's my team!
(Oh! Please don't give that Johnson idiot a guitar and and a microphone!)
Pleease, doan give that guy the mike. Oh pleeeeaee doan do that t'us tonight. We paid him all our money now he's here t' make us fight. [for more ] Oh, pleeease doan give that man the mike.
As she says. "It takes a lotta money to look this cheap."

Isn't she a love? And such a good, kind person. Humble, still. I wish she ran the world. Thanks for this. Such a treat. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteShe is a wonderful lady! I wish there were more like her around. Jx
DeleteActually, yes, I think I wish she ran the world as well - wouldn’t it be lovely?

I'm here all week!
I'm no Country'n'Western fan, but there's something about Dolly that's impossible not to like...
DeleteThe last PM who was let loose with a guitar was that oleaginous twat Blair, and look where that got us! Jx
Christ! NO!
