Pigeon Forge’s Hometown Girl, Dolly
(hm-mmm, ooh)
Born in a cabin when the winter was deep
With only a song for her spirit to keep
She packed up her cardboard suitcase with a dream
And headed out west past the mountain
stream
Oh, the Smoky Mountains were calling her name But the whole wide
world would remember
her fame
(ooh, yeah)
She's
Pigeon Forge's
hometown girl
Bringing her light to a heavy world
With a coat of many colors and a heart
of pure gold
The sweetest story that the mountains ever told
She built up a kingdom of laughter and play
To give all the children a brighter pathway
With books in their hands and a hope in their eyes
She's a true living hero beneath
southern skies
She's Pigeon Forge's
hometown girl
Bringing her light to a heavy world
With a coat of many colors and a heart
of pure gold
The sweetest story that the mountains ever told
From the dirt-floor porch to the grandest stage She never forgot her
very first page A pure soul shining so bright
and so free
Our angel of sweet
Tennessee (Tennessee!)
She's
Pigeon Forge's
hometown girl
Bringing her light to a heavy world
With a coat of many colors and a heart
of pure gold
The sweetest story that the mountains ever told
Our hometown girl... (hm-mmm)
Shine on,
sweet Tennessee star...
