Dolly Parton - The Greatest Days Of All Lyrics

Align:    
  • (Dolly Parton)
  • A dirt dobber built its nest
  • On my only Sunday dress
  • And the roof leaked in my shoes
  • And when they dried they were too small
  • And the rats chewed a great big hole
  • In my only winter coat
  • And at night I'd hear them gnaw
  • The paper on my bedroom wall
  • But I still say
  • Those were the greatest days of all
  • Some happy and some sad
  • Some good and some bad
  • But I still say
  • Those were the greatest days of all
  • I used to wait by the garden gate
  • Where the hummingbirds came ev'ry day
  • To kiss the yellow roses
  • Growing up the garden wall
  • And in the tall grass I would lie
  • 'Til ev'ning shadows brought the night
  • Thru the window of my room
  • I'd hear the whippoorwill's sad call
  • And I still say
  • Those were the greatest days of all
  • Some happy and some sad
  • Some good and some bad
  • But I still say
  • Those were the greatest days of all
  • Now as I make my way
  • Along the busy city sidewalks
  • My head arouring from the deafening city sound
  • You can't hear a whipporwill in this noisy city
  • And tall green grass don't grow
  • Along the sidewalks of this town
  • And hummingbirds don't fly around
  • These artificial roses
  • Like they did around the garden wall
  • And, oh, so often in my mind
  • I'll go back to another time
  • And I still say
  • Those were the greatest days of all
  • I still say
  • Those were the greatest days of all
