Dolly Parton

Songwriter: Dorothy Jo Owens Bill Owens Dolly Parton

There's no room for me
I'm a girl left alone
With fields all around me
I feel so alone
I could tell my story for whom it will urge
But I know I cannot sleep if there's no room for me

I'm a girl left alone
There's no hope for me
I'm tossed and thrown
Like a ship on the sea
There was a mistake and now I will sink
For those that still love me
I must go this way

I hear the great story
Of the great eternity
Where souls can be happy
And I will be free
I know I will suffer
In this world eternity
But in heaven I wonder
If there'll be room for me

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
