Marry MeDolly Parton

Released: January 23, 2001

Songwriter: Dolly Parton

Producer: Steve Buckingham

Well I met a boy from Grassy Branch
Fine as he can be
I met him at the big barn dance
And he took a shine to me
Sky-blue eyes, a big wide smile
And tall as a sycamore tree
He's real smart with a real big heart
And he's going to marry me

He's going to marry me
And we're going to go to town
We're going to buy some real good car
And we're going to drive around
We'll hold hands and touch and hug
He talks so sweet to me
Because he knows a lot about love and stuff
And he's going to marry me

His momma don't like me one little bit
But you know I don't care
Let her pitch her hissy-fit
Because I am not marrying her
He's always been a momma's boy
It's just plain jealousy
She's as mad as an old red hen
Because he's going to marry me

Oh, and he's going to marry me
And he's going to buy me a ring
We're going to be so free
Cut momma's apron strings
He's going to build me a pretty little house
Have a pretty little made-for-three
Because he's done kiss me on the mouth
And he's going to marry me

Oh, and he's going to marry me
And he's going to buy me a ring
We're going to be so free
Cut momma's apron strings
He's going to build me a pretty little house
Have a pretty little made-for-three
Because he's done kiss me on the mouth
And he's going to marry me

Yeah, he's done kiss me on the mouth
And he's going to marry me
Yodel-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de

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
