Heartstrings for Dolly

(hmmmm) Born in a cabin

in the Great Smoky hills

With a dream in her heart that no winter could chill

With a coat of many colors

her mama had spun

She set out to brighten the world like the sun

She gave books to the children

to open their eyes

To help them reach upward and aim for the skies

A mountain-born angel

with a warm helping hand

Spreading her kindness all over the land

Oh Dolly, our angel,

you shine such a light

With a heart full of grace making everything bright From the hills

of Tennessee to the ends of the earth

We thank the sweet heavens

for giving you birth (yeah)

With a laugh like a bell

and a song on her lips

She sailed through the storms on her own little ships

Never forgetting

the place she came from

Bringing her hope like a morning beat drum

Oh Dolly, our angel,

you shine such a light

With a heart full of grace making everything bright From the hills

of Tennessee to the ends of the earth

We thank the sweet heavens

for giving you birth

And the world is a better

and beautiful place For the strength of your smile and your gentle

embrace

(thank you)

She's our mountain-born angel (hmmmm)

Singing her songs of love
