Dolly Parton

Oh I wish I was a kissing tree a growing 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 kissing tree and I'll give him some kissing to
I love a tall man he is not a small man my man is all man and the only man for me
Now I wish I was a kissing tree out on the lone prairie
And every time 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 is not a small man my man is all man and the only man for me
And the only one for me ooh

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
