In the airport lounge, he sat with his cane and derby hat
The grandest man that I had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So I asked him if he'd like some company

In my rhinestone-studded suit and my cowgirl high-heeled boots
I must have been a sight for him to see
But he said, "Pull up a chair" as I fumbled with my hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see

I was Mogen David wine, he was Chablis '59
But there we sat, the cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee

The cowgirl and the dandy as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

Then somewhere in between his Harvey's Bristol cream
And the beer that I kept sippin' at his table
We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cabin
And there's a little bit of country in the dandy

The cowgirl and the dandy, as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

I was Mogen David wine, he was Chablis '59
But there we sat, the cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paris
I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee

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
