Goodbye Dolly

Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly The Smokies weep into the morning rain Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly No earthly stage will ever sound the same From a barefoot cabin on the mountain side With an iron will and a coat of pride You took your six-string straight to Music Row With a rhinestone shine and a heart of grit You wrote every line that you ever hit And conquered hearts through every bitter blow Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly The Smokies weep into the morning rain Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly No earthly stage will ever sound the same You showed the world what a song could mean From working hours nine to five on screen To the bittersweet grace of stepping out the door You taught the steel and the pine to cry Underneath a heavy Tennessee sky Now the Queen of Country takes the floor no more You left the glitter, you left the gold The greatest stories this land ever told A million pages in a child’s hand You built your empire on honest sand Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly The Smokies weep into the morning rain Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly, Goodbye Dolly No earthly stage will ever sound the same Rest easy in the pines, Dolly...
