Dolly Parton is the real deal. From music, movies, Dollywood and to her charity work, she is an amazing person. It is often said, the only reason Dolly isn't a Billionaire is because of all the things she does to give back to the community. God Bless Dolly!
Do yourself a favor girl and listen to this whole song once again without any interruptions and you will appreciate it more. I promise you. You will not regret it. Adios. P.S. "RIP".😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
First few times I heard this I cried like a baby. Now I can usually get through it. I can picture the whole story. And that little girl with her puppy.
First heard this song when I was pursuing a girl into c/w; not an easy task for a rocker. She played Dolly's first Greatest Hits over and over. This song blew me away, then as now. Saddest song ever.
Next songs, "Down from Dover" they(recorder company)wouldn't let her release it as a single. "The Bargain Store" Radio stations ban the song because it mentions body parts. But it still became a hit for Dolly. "He's Alive" Dolly didn't write this song. But she will give you chills listening to her sing it. "The letter" 1st letter she wrote home to her parents after she moved to Nashville. "Love is like a butterfly" Beautiful song. Dolly loves butterflies. "Mule Skinners Blues" Dolly yodels. Dolly is the only female Country Singer l have ever heard sing this song. She's great. "If teardrops were pennies & heartaches were gold" "Daddy was an old time Preacher man" 2 Duets with Porter Wagoner.
The girl was out in a cold and stormy night wandering in a ragged dress. No idea how long she had been out there, what condition her shoes were in if she had any, or what her health was before the storm. I knew you would love it. Thank you to the person that put in the donation.
Dolly is doing this concert in London, Enland and it's a great one. The next song she does after this one is Down From Dover. Get ready with the tissues. Thanks for the reaction.
What's really sad is that there are moms and dads just like this, neglecting their kids. What a crime! I can't hear this song without breaking down with tears. Saddest song EVER! I love it,
Now do Down from Dover from the same show. It's her Live from London HBO special. She wrote it when she was 18 years old. The radio wouldn't play it, because it was too controversial at the time. Brilliant songwriter!!!
I remember when her and Kenny came down to New Zealand I bought tickets from my after school job and waited in line at 9 am in the morning. The gates opened at 3 pm and I got right down the front. It was my first concert ever. I was like 15. She sang this song and Id never heard it and the whole crown where in tears. To date ( apart from Prince ) this was one of t4h best concerts Ive ever been to
One of the most talented women to ever walk the earth. You should read up on her, when wildfires ravaged Tennessee, she supported each family out of her own pocket……just to give back. You need to check out “Dollywood” also, great amusement park that employees hundreds from those mountains. Ms. Dolly also has a free book program that gives to any child by mail for free, great voice and great heart. Beautiful women inside and out.
Great reaction Britt! Not that you need more reasons to love Ms Dolly, but many folks are unaware of her Imagination Library, which sends free books to children each month, all around the world. Enjoy the day you deserve.
Another true song by Dolly is Appalachian Memories. Many poor Southern Appalachian folk left the mountains (hills and hollows) and went North to work in the auto and steel plants. Beautiful lyrics and music. 'Oh and these northern nights are dreary And my southern heart is weary I wonder how the old folks are back home But I'll keep leanin' on sweet Jesus I know He'll love and guide and lead us Appalachian memories keep me strong'
Britt I so totally enjoy watching your reactions. You are adorable and funny. You are evidence of what I always believed, that a good song is a good song no matter the genre. Keep expanding your musical horizons baby sister.
Dolly is a pure soul who was born DIRT poor, who got rich. She then was a major hand in the funding for the Covid vaccine and had a hand in saving millions of lives. She is a damned ANGEL.
Blue Ridge Mountain Boy, Daddy Come, and Get Me, Evening Shade, and Down From Dover. A few of her sad songs come to mind. Want to hear her yodel? Joshua, and Mule Skinner Blues.
You should check out These Old Bones. Dolly sings part of it in an older woman's voice. It's another great story song but it's Auntie Dolly so of course it is! 🙂
Find this concert and listen to songs like "Appalachian Memories" "Down from Dover"..... if you want to see the depth of her talent. I believe the live show was in England from 1983 Do yourself a favor and check it out sometime if you like her vocals. You will not be disappointed. Great reaction!!
I'm Woody, I have followed her career, been to more concerts than I remember, I have met her several times and she is exactly the way you will expect. I'm getting up in age now, but does my heart good to the younger generation still follow her, If by chance you read this and would like to know more about Dolly, let me know I can share a lot, I became a fan in the late 60's, I've been to some of her birthday parties . Let me know, and by the way, you do the best reactions. I just need to learn how the whole process goes, Name is Woody
I thou youmight like to take a listen to Reba Mcentire sin a song by Patsy Cline called Sweet Dreams, she sings it acapella ❤ just beautiful ❤ I hope you listen to it❤
For what I have heard, Dolly knows a bit about loss and heartbreak... When she was a child, she had many, many siblings, so her parents recruited the older children to help with the younger ones... They assigned each older child, including Dolly, to one of the younger ones to take care of... Unfortunately, the child that Dolly was to take care of got sick, and did not make it... Dolly was inconsolable... Although it was undoubtedly NOT her fault, Dolly blamed herself anyway... That is why she never had any children of her own... The trauma of losing her little brother was just too much for her to bear... She took it as a sign that she should never have children of her own...
she's like the marilyn monroe of music, those two share that beautiful alluring magnetic innocence..whatever you wanna call it, dolly is a natural born talent though..comin' straight out the womb, haha
The girl was out in a cold and stormy night wandering in a ragged dress. No idea how long she had been out there, what condition her shoes were in if she had any, or what her health was before the storm.
If you think this is heart wrenching, try "The Bridge" or "Down From Dover". Dolly could write some sad songs... or as she said "absolutely pitiful" ones.
This is a horrifying tragic yet beautiful and powerful demonstration that same tragedy. The horror is in what is implied but not said. Children are naturally afraid of strangers. So imagine how bad their condition had to have been for a 6 year old girl to pick up her puppy and leave their home to wander a neighborhood... at night... in the middle of a freezing winter storm. "Why did they die if she took them in?" Severe exposure AND extreme long-term malnutrition. her mommy ran away again could mean a week or weeks ago. so again, imagine a 6 year old child left alone in a home for a week or longer. no food. like someone abandoning their home and leaving their pet abandoned inside with no food. indeed, the puppy is starving, too - both abandoned. she is starving. they are suffering together alone until the desperation gets so bad that the 6 year old girl flees to the wild darkness of night, wearing nothing but a night dress into a winter storm, in hope of finding help from a random stranger. Who knows how many hours she wandered and stood in the winter storm trying to work up the nerve/bravery to approach a strange house and knock on a stranger's door in the middle of the night. Adult women are usually too afraid to do this and won't do home delivery jobs after sunset. Even still, after the woman answers the door, the girl's so scared/intimidated, she can't just come straight out and ask for warmth/food/help/love, so she him-haws and shyly fumbles around with playful silly words while fleetingly interjecting quick declarations for help. Worse yet, even with help given, the long-term damage is so severe her body is weakened beyond the point of recovery, so she and the puppy both pass away in their sleep in the strange woman's loving/peaceful/merciful home/bed. the horror of this tragedy is hidden by the perfect demonstration of a child's shy but bubbly spirit even as she is in a dying state of suffering. These powerful things are left unsaid and for you the listen to figure out through common sense deduction. Thus, the reality of the tragedy quickly transforms from the perspective of a naive and innocent child to suddenly a sober and grim adult's understanding of the severity of the situation, then it deepens and deepens as the adult mind analyzes the situation further for better understanding. the most beautiful depiction of tragic horror I've ever heard. Subtle. Not in your face or overly descriptive, but set up where all the secret horrors can be figured out with a little adult critical thinking. masterpiece of powerful minimalist lyrics. thank you for reacting.
God is not blind and God is not deaf. God is Our Creator people and animal alike. In God's eyes we are all equal. Our God knew that the little girl and her little puppy dog had suffered very, ery much. Without anbody to love them, without a crust of food and then in the cold and wintry night they didn't have a place to stay, God took them both to heaven. Thank you God for caring for us all. Adios.❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂
Britt, you need to listen to some early Dolly, when she sang with Porter Wagoner. Porter discovered her, and brought her into the fold. Here is a good starter, "Say Forever You'll Be Mine", with the two of them.
I cry EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG😭 if you don't you got no soul
Dolly Parton is the real deal. From music, movies, Dollywood and to her charity work, she is an amazing person. It is often said, the only reason Dolly isn't a Billionaire is because of all the things she does to give back to the community. God Bless Dolly!
She is a Billionaire in all the ways that count.
Do yourself a favor girl and listen to this whole song once again without any interruptions and you will appreciate it more. I promise you. You will not regret it. Adios. P.S. "RIP".😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
First few times I heard this I cried like a baby. Now I can usually get through it. I can picture the whole story. And that little girl with her puppy.
Her song "Little Blossom" is similar to this, but she is younger and her voice is not as mature but still just as sad and full of emotion.
Being as my name is Andy, my momma used to sing this song to me all the time as a child.
Dolly reaches in and crushes your heart here, in the best possible way.
First heard this song when I was pursuing a girl into c/w; not an easy task for a rocker. She played Dolly's first Greatest Hits over and over. This song blew me away, then as now. Saddest song ever.
Dolly Parton at her best!
Dolly is an angel. I’ll click every time.
She is the master of surprise endings.
Wow, just wow..😢😮
Have you heard Coat Of Many Colors? That's one of my favorite of hers
You absolutely must watch her singing "He's Alive". Especially with Easter coming. 💜
Next songs,
"Down from Dover" they(recorder company)wouldn't let her release it as a single.
"The Bargain Store" Radio stations ban the song because it mentions body parts. But it still became a hit for Dolly.
"He's Alive" Dolly didn't write this song. But she will give you chills listening to her sing it.
"The letter" 1st letter she wrote home to her parents after she moved to Nashville.
"Love is like a butterfly" Beautiful song. Dolly loves butterflies.
"Mule Skinners Blues" Dolly yodels. Dolly is the only female Country Singer l have ever heard sing this song. She's great.
"If teardrops were pennies & heartaches were gold"
"Daddy was an old time Preacher man"
2 Duets with Porter Wagoner.
The Bridge is another song they would not play on radio stations. Great story in that one too
Those are all great suggestions!
Listen to Dolly's..."HE'S ALIVE"!
The girl was out in a cold and stormy night wandering in a ragged dress. No idea how long she had been out there, what condition her shoes were in if she had any, or what her health was before the storm. I knew you would love it. Thank you to the person that put in the donation.
Dolly is wonderful ❤

I'm glad you enjoyed this one. It is also near the top of my favorite Dolly songs.
Britt you are so sweet have been a fan of dolly for years but I'm a huge fan of yours now XOXO
I remember when her and Kenny came down to New Zealand I bought tickets from my after school job and waited in line at 9 am in the morning. The gates opened at 3 pm and I got right down the front.

My cousin and I would sing this song while doing our chores. She would sing Dollys part an I would do the little girl.
The memories .....
We said oh my god at the same time, I'm not I've ever heard this thanks ❤
Britt, your hair is beautiful. So is your smile when you listen to Dolly!❤
This is what makes Dolly the global superstar that she is; the fact that she is a consummate storyteller.
Voice of an Angel...
This is one of my favorites. Chokes me up every time I hear it.

Just before u said it, I was thinking she’s such a good story teller, I was hooked and needed to know what was coming next.

That a great short movie from her Netflix series called Heartstrings. Which is different songs of hers made in to short movies.
At that same London, England concert, she sang another song called Down from Dover. Please do a reaction to it.Thanks
Always brings a tear. And this song will stick in your head. Another song that is amazing is " I loved her first " by Heartland.
There is a song called 'Rose's for Mama' by C.W. McCall. It's wonderful!!!😢
Goosebumps
see her movies Dolly is funny and a great actress
Find this concert and listen to songs like "Appalachian Memories" "Down from Dover"..... if you want to see the depth of her talent. I believe the live show was in England from 1983
Do yourself a favor and check it out sometime if you like her vocals. You will not be disappointed.
Great reaction!!
Her song Little Blossom is along the same lines as this one and rips your heart out, but in a beautiful way.

Hey Britt, if you want to hear a great duet, Jewel and Dolly have a song called I Am My Father’s Daughter. It’s beautiful.
she's like the marilyn monroe of music, those two share that beautiful alluring magnetic innocence..whatever you wanna call it, dolly is a natural born talent though..comin' straight out the womb, haha
No! Britt! You are not ready!!!!!
The girl was out in a cold and stormy night wandering in a ragged dress. No idea how long she had been out there, what condition her shoes were in if she had any, or what her health was before the storm.
She's a legend you should check these old bones song she change voice also
Down from Dover by Dolly Parton.
If you think this is heart wrenching, try "The Bridge" or "Down From Dover". Dolly could write some sad songs... or as she said "absolutely pitiful" ones.
You should listen to her sing He’s Alive it’s beautiful
Dolly song -The Bridge

She said it was pittyfull 😆
❤️
Who’s cutting onions? Why are my eyeballs leaking?
Down from Dover is a must. Dolly had to fight hard to record. Still would never get radio play.
❤
revisit it worth it
They had hypothermia and passed on from it. Who else could write a song about child neglect and make it sound like this?
💙
The little girl was sick and nobody took care of her she was basically abandoned
Imagine to knock at someones door and ask for help as a little kid. Must be very scary because you don't know who's in there.
God is not blind and God is not deaf. God is Our Creator people and animal alike. In God's eyes we are all equal. Our God knew that the little girl and her little puppy dog had suffered very, ery much.

Adios.❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂
Try Dolly and porter jeanies afraid or the dark
Please react to Dolly Parton Coat of Many Colors. Thanks
This one has always been a really difficult one for me
Britt, you need to listen to some early Dolly, when she sang with Porter Wagoner. Porter discovered her, and brought her into the fold. Here is a good starter, "Say Forever You'll Be Mine", with the two of them.
i would love to know the story behind this song .
you should react to don't laugh at me by Mark wills
She writes children’s books
lightning struck them?
She told you it was pityfull! 😪
Check out Dini Petty with Red Skelton
Do Kenny Rogers coward of the county
Another tear jerker that you will need kleenex for of hers is Down From Dover
Neglect hypothermia
Saddest song she ever wrote
Yeshua is coming back. Have faith in Him alone to be saved.
I think they died from exposure to the cold.
Well she did tell you it is pitiful!
She warned you. Sad songs, but this one is pitiful. Audience laughs.... then Dolly destroys them.
You talk to much
You're so awesome
