The SidestepDolly Parton

[Verse 1]
Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see
I assure you, and I mean it- Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?
And, fellow Texans, I'm for progress and the flag- long may it fly
I'm a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie

[Chorus]
Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on

[Verse 2]
Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare
I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer
And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon you'll

[Chorus]
Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on

[Verse 3]
Now, Miss Mona, I don't know her, though I've heard the name, oh yes
But, of course I've no close contact, so what she is doing I can only guess
And now, Miss Mona, she's a blemish on the face of that good town
I am taking certain steps here, someone somewhere's going to have to close her down

[Chorus]
Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on

[Outro]
Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep
And, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on

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
