The tragic news I heard todayÂ
For Dolly I light a candle and pray
In the year of 1946 she was born a star
Dolly Rebecca Parton she would go so far
One of twelve children sure
A poor family music was her cure
Dolly Parton she has gone
Her music will live forever on
Her songs your heart and soul would lift
Our loss is Heavens beautiful gift
Dolly Parton she has gone
A country girl from the state of TennesseeÂ
Born in the smoky mountains yes siree
Songs of struggle love and hope
Ballads of heartbreak to cope
Around the world she did inspire
A legion of fans to light their fire
Dolly Parton she has gone
Her music will live forever on
Her songs your heart and soul would lift
Our loss is Heavens beautiful gift
Dolly Parton she has gone
Â
From nine to five Jolene and many more
A legion of fans Dolly they did adore
Her music would your spirits lift
Our loss is for heaven a beautiful gift
Nashville mourns a legend that died
Tears in Tennessee today we cried
Dolly Parton she has gone
Her music will live forever on
Hold on people you got to be strong
Dolly Parton she has gone
