I 100% agree with you. This is one soul the world needs on this crazy planet called earth. We just need to enjoy every sound that comes from this sweet wonderful woman's lips. Everyone could learn a thing or two from Dolly and if they did, the world would be a much better place.

I've been listening to Dolly for years and years. I never could understand why this album never was on Spotify until 2020. It's such an amazing album to listen to, especially if you like bluegrass and mountain music.
It seems nice to hear a song talk about something like this I know more ppl would share their stories of things that not everyone experiences if they were not ridiculed...There is so much more to this world and reality ....quantum physics has already proved that much maybe one day all ppl will share their gifts and help give us a insight in to the things that the average eyes can’t see
I heard this a few weeks ago and gasped with pleasure. Then I heard the end of the song and cried! Yes, I cried. My Clairvoyant Medium gifts started when I was 3.5yrs old. I always tell the people who come see me that I say exactly what I hear and see!! 😊 But I don't use anything for show lol just me. Thanks for writing a song spoke to me and my gifts. 💖
Dolly, I've listened and enjoyed your music for all these years and in just a few words of this song I'm getting goose bumps all over me! I grew up just a few houses farther up the hollow from a woman who had the gift. She was a much loved person in our community. Thank you for reminded me of her. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving
I see everyone saying they are here from Netflix, I’m here bc I’ve listened to Dolly since a very small child and will always do so. This song really is close to my heart and forever will be.
Used to listen to this ALL the time with my Grandma when I was little. Whenever I stayed with her or rode with her in the car we listened to your song. Thank you Misses Parton for creating those memories for us. You are a legend and your music will not be forgotten.
I love this and listened to this over and over. The greatest story teller ever,just like Loretta! 2 of my favs. It's got to be her changing her voice though right?😂
Thank you for sharing this wonderful song! I grew up with Dolly Parton and she is as close to a saint as we'll have this go round. Her voice heals hearts and souls. This song in particular holds so much significance and love for me. Specially since it was me n my besties song. He was from Kentucky, so i always called him a "hollerwitch". We would sing this together everytime we could. Rest easy Kevbo...i miss you. These old bones were just for show ...❤
What a great song! My mom was adopted, and just a few days ago, we found her family. I have two aunt's and uncle's I didn't know about. Her family one of her and had been looking for years, and we finally found each other. We meet in the spring all as one. I'm so excited, and your song, "These old bones" took me on a similar journey. Thank you.
My mama has the gift. I have a strong intuition bordering on psychic, though I would never call myself that. I know I get the gift from her. My daughter has that same strong intuition. This song is awesome :) I love it. And I love Ms. Dolly's ability to paint a picture and story with her words. Thank you Dolly Parton. One day I hope to meet you. Such a pure and lovely humble soul.
....the full-spectrum....of emotion.....delightfully....sung......in the homey charming....wholesome way...that only ....you.....beautiful.....human....timeless...Dolly.....could ever...conjure...and deliver....Love , thanks, and appreciation.........my one of a kind Dolly...xxxxxxxxx0000000000......your heart shines in storytelling.
Love the heartstrings series; watched it for Colin and Ginny but developed a love for the whole series and even more respect for Dolly than I already had 😍
The first time I heard this I thought, This would make a great movie. Still do after a few dozen more listens. I mean nothing against "9 to 5", "I Will Always Love You", and "Jolene" but this thing is a masterpiece and far more moving to me.
Dolly there isn't words that can even describe how beautiful your music is or what your music has done for others, I've grown up to my mum playing your records and then watching the film you starred in called joy was amazing I love the song to the moon and back, and daddys moonshine and Joshua and one that made me cry was letter to heaven your really an inspiration, I have started writing my own songs I've just recorded my first one producer has it now please if you would have a look at my preview clip on my page I would really appreciate it lots of love always x
I adore this story song, takes me back to the day I met my queen, this was playing in the background, such happy memories of the day my dream came true
These Old Bones is my favourite episode of Heartstrings... moves me so.... Kathleen Turner did Dolly proud. Dolly personally asked her to play Ms. Shaw

@@Arbear64 I AGREE 100% with you as well.
Amen
Dolly Parton made me cry again. The magic is inside us...absolutely. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
I loved the stories from Heartstrings!

Best lyric writer and voice and personality EVER
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones I shake and rattle
These old bones I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
(End chorus)
Oh, she lived upon the mountain
'Leven miles or so from town
With a one-eyed cat named Wink
A billy goat and a blue-tick hound
Her greying hair was braided
And wrapped around her head
And her dress was long and faded
And her home a rusty shed
In a little patch of burlap
Tied with a piece of twine
There were bones all shapes and sizes
Gathered through the course of time
She'd throw them out before you
She swore that she could see
The present, past, and future
She could read your destiny
Everybody knew about her
Came to get their fortune read
Concerning health and wealth and power
Who to love and when to wed
"Well, I just like helpin' people
I's just glad that I could help
Why, I know ev'rybody's secrets
But I keep it to m'self."
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones I shake and rattle
These old bones I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
(End chorus)
Some called her "Witchy Woman"
Some said she was insane
Some said she was a prophet
Still everybody came
"Just because a body's dif'ernt
Well, that don't make 'em mad
They've crucified a-many
For the special gifts they've had."
I had often heard about her
Dreamed about her now and then
For I too was clairvoyant
Came about when I was ten
I was fascinated with her
And the things I'd heard about
And I knew someday I'd meet her
And one day, it came about
"Well, I knowed that you's a-comin'
I could feel it in my bones
These old bones have also told me
That I won't be here for long.
Did you know that you's adopted?
Did you know you oncet was mine?
But the county took you from me
Said I wadn't right in mind
But I just knowed I had to see ye
'Fore these bones was laid to rest
So I conjured up a message
It musta worked, I guess
This gift runs in the fam'ly
I know you also know
And I passed this gift on to you
These old bones, they're just for show."
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones I shake and rattle
These old bones I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
(End chorus)
I held her hand while she was dying
And with the funeral through
I headed on back up the mountain
For Billy, Wink, and Blue
And that little pouch of burlap
With those bones so worn and old
She gave me something special
Now every time I throw
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones I shake and rattle
These old bones I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
(End chorus)
SPOKEN:
Now, I can't tell you what you want to hear
I just tell you what I see
It's these old bones a-talkin'
Blame it on them, don't pack it on me
It's just like that time that there boy died up at the sawmill
Well, I knowed who done it, but I never said
I knowed when somebody's a-cheatin'
Or when somebody's baby's gon' be born dead
'Less somebody just plain out ast me
Well, I just figger there ain't no point in
Goin' 'round actin' like you know ever'thing
Just 'cause you might
why'know girl, you I want you to take these bones
'Cause I don't want no young'un o'mine goin' 'round unprepared
You just remember that the magic is inside you
There ain't no crystal ball
This is Dolly at her best for sure!
Her voice and her stories make me smile.
Dolly Parton doesn't work from 9 to 5 she works on our hearts. Shes a doctor for the heart

These Old Bones is my favourite episode of Heartstrings... moves me so.... Kathleen Turner did Dolly proud. Dolly personally asked her to play Ms. Shaw
Love you God bless
💐🌸🌺🌸🌺💐 wow these old bones
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
Verse 1:
Oh, she lived up on the mountain
Eleven miles or so from town
With a one-eyed cat named Wink,
A billy goat and a blue tick hound
Her graying hair was braided
And wrapped around her head
And her dress was long and faded
And her home a rusty shed
In a little pouch of burlap
Tied with a piece of twine
There were bones all shapes and sizes
Gathered through the course of time
She'd throw them out before you
She swore that she could see
The present, past and future
She could read your destiny
Everybody knew about her
Came to get their fortune read
Concerning health and wealth and power
Who to love and when to wed
Well, I just like helping people
I'm just glad that I can help
Why, I know everybody's secrets
But I keep it to myself
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
Some called her witchy woman
Some said she was insane
Some said she was a prophet
Still everybody came
Just because a body's different
Well, that don't make 'em mad
Well, they've crucified a many
For the special gifts they've had
I had often heard about her,
Dreamed about her now and then
For I, too, was clairvoyant,
Came about when I was ten
I was fascinated with her
And the things I'd heard about
And I knew some day I'd meet her,
And one day it came about
Well, I know'd that you 'uz a'comin'
I could feel it in my bones
These old bones have also told me
That I won't be here for long
Did you know that you are adopted?
Did you know you once was mine?
But the county took you from me,
Said I wasn't right in mind
But I just know'd I had to see you
'Fore these bones was laid to rest
So I conjured up a message
It must have worked, I guess
This gift runs in the family
I know you also know
And I passed this gift on to you
These old bones, they're just for show
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
How to live and when you'll die
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
I held her hand while she was dying
And with the funeral through
I headed on back up the mountain
For Billy, Wink and Blue
And that little pouch of burlap
With those bones so worn and old
She gave me something special
Now every time I throw
These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in how they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
Ad libs:
Now I can't tell you what you want to hear
I just tell you what I see
It's these old bones are talking
Blame it on them; don't pack it on me
It's just like that time that there boy died
Up at the sawmill
Well, I know'd who done it, but I never said
And I know'd when somebody is a cheating
Or when somebody's baby was gonna be born dead
But unless somebody just plain out and asked me
Well, I just figured there ain't no point going around acting like you know everything, just 'cause you might.
Ah, you know, girl, I want you to take these bones
'Cause I don't want no young and of mine are going around unprepared
You just remember that the magic is inside you
There ain't no crystal ball
