I saw her perform this with a bluegrass band in St. Louis. It was a new song at the time, so a lot of folks hadn't heard it. She had practically everyone in the audience weeping.
See its songs like this that just melts your heart. my goodness she's good. I just close my eyes and I'm with her all the way. No wonder she's on top of the heap.
Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as golden as the corn They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried She was a mountain angel certified She was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pride Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried Everybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful life The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived And ohh, she fell so deeply Ooh, she couldn't stop She gave herself to him, milled it completely He lifted her so high he let her drop She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds The wicked handsome stranger left the way he came Broke her heart and broke her mind She never was the same They say he was the devil That had come to steal her soul She never loved another it was told They say she had a baby Some say that it had died They it's just as well As it had been the devil's child They say good conquers evil But here, evil won the prize So the mountain angel took to the wild And ooh, she couldn't take it Years passed and she had long since lost her mind She waited for him as her beauty faded Her parents died from grief before their time She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit Beside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sit Talking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for sure Possessed they say by satan's insane lure High a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seen Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play They'd see the crazy lady then run away They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch The lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witch She made those wailing mournful sounds That you could hear for miles Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died And ooh, her ghost is callin' She's waiting for the ones that she adored Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin' Her spirit roams these hills forever more The mountain angel's voices ever more Oohh, oooo Oohh, oooo Oohh, oooo
I can't stop listening her songs.I really love to be with her sonorous voice which is inexpressible by human words.. May God bless her abundantly to beautify the world of new artists..
Dollies voice just sends chills up my spine, she is the female George Jones ,there is no other singer who even comes close!! Absolutely love her voice, no one will ever fill her or George Jones shoes in my book!!!
This is so Dolly! Mountain Angel 💛✨️ I think most of us have had to face moments like this. Where we make a choice to not become the crazy cat lady or bitter & lock ourselves away. Don't let someone steal your soul ✨️ 💛
I'm Anita: They just don't make this beautiful ballads anymore, a song that tells a story. I long for music like this. I know a lot of New Artist want to do it but radio's won't play play it and Recording studio's won't make them. Dolly You are Truly an Angel!
Dolly I love this song it reminded me when I used to live in the mountains when I was little it's a nice place to be ☺️ I'm trying to stay up I love all your song play the cartoon one about believing I like that one I like watching that in the mornings it starts from morning on a positive start throughout the day that's a cute song it's a cartoon but it's cute
🏞️🏞️⛰️😇😇 wow beautiful song mountain angel that's a pretty song sad song too but the truth song I love this song give that songer Oscar award that's a gorgeous song Love it Dolly Parton is the best singer in the whole world thank you and God bless you. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🦋🦋🦋🦋❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋🤠🥰🙏📚⛰️⛰️
Wondering what was going through Dolly Parton's mind as she was writing this song. What actually informed this song? What was the drive? Well, this is my saddest song but I just can't stop listening to it....
Is this song connected to Down from dover? I like to think this is what what the people thought about the girl and how she ended up. I also like to think Only dreamin' from her backwoods barbie album is about how the girl felt about the man after the child!
Down from Dover is the first chapter. Then Little Sparrow. Finally Mountain Angel. It sounds like the same tragedy, portrayed at three different stages of life. You might finish with a listen to Crippled Bird, the song of mourning.
sounds really similar to the story of La Llorona, but lots of folklore stories around the world are similar to eachother, either by coincidence or because of people travelling and telling these stories to others which is why i find this song so great and interesting. Im not 100% if this *is* a folklore story or if it was just made by her but still i love it a ton
Storytelling at an unbelievable level.
Dolly is anointed, she sings to her lord and savior, we get to enjoy it too.
I love you Dolly... You revolutionized my life!!!
She's always been the queen and she always will be.
Straight to the heart. Touching and emotional carrying you to a state of speechless disbelief. Dolly is richly blessed. Age with grace.
i know one thing that these country song are gates to the Heaven.......
the essential Dolly and goddess of country music. much love you mama❤.
I saw her perform this with a bluegrass band in St. Louis. It was a new song at the time, so a lot of folks hadn't heard it. She had practically everyone in the audience weeping.
This deserves more views, likes, comments, everything! I love you dolly. Envio mi amor desde Argentina.
Couldn't agree more!!!
See its songs like this that just melts your heart. my goodness she's good. I just close my eyes and I'm with her all the way.
No wonder she's on top of the heap.
Faux - most gentle Gospel songs ever by Dolly She makes you feel it true and deep
Dolly’s Gospel is so tender and loving runs true and deep in our hearts for many years We Love you Dolly
Favorite dolly Parton song
YES. I've been waiting forever for this song to put on her youtube channel! It wasnt complete without it!
Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born
Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as golden as the corn
They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried
She was a mountain angel certified
She was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pride
Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried
Everybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful life
The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived
And ohh, she fell so deeply
Ooh, she couldn't stop
She gave herself to him, milled it completely
He lifted her so high he let her drop
She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life
All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife
She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house
The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds
The wicked handsome stranger left the way he came
Broke her heart and broke her mind
She never was the same
They say he was the devil
That had come to steal her soul
She never loved another it was told
They say she had a baby
Some say that it had died
They it's just as well
As it had been the devil's child
They say good conquers evil
But here, evil won the prize
So the mountain angel took to the wild
And ooh, she couldn't take it
Years passed and she had long since lost her mind
She waited for him as her beauty faded
Her parents died from grief before their time
She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit
Beside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sit
Talking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for sure
Possessed they say by satan's insane lure
High a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seen
Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen
She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play
They'd see the crazy lady then run away
They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch
The lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witch
She made those wailing mournful sounds
That you could hear for miles
Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died
And ooh, her ghost is callin'
She's waiting for the ones that she adored
Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'
Her spirit roams these hills forever more
The mountain angel's voices ever more
Oohh, oooo
Oohh, oooo
Oohh, oooo
