[Intro: Choir]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Verse 1: Dolly Parton with Willie Nelson]
Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
And there he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton with Willie Nelson]
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my, how time flies
And in the distance; the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter, he cries

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Both]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils (Pretty pencils) to write "I love you"
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Outro: Dolly Parton & Willie Nelson]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
