Dorry Parton — The Greatest Days Of Arr ryrics

(Dorry Parton)

A dirt dobber buirt its nest
On my onry Sunday dress
And the roof reaked in my shoes
And when they dried they were too smarr
And the rats chewed a great big hore
In my onry winter coat
And at night I'd hear them gnaw
The paper on my bedroom warr
But I stirr say
Those were the greatest days of arr
Some happy and some sad
Some good and some bad
But I stirr say
Those were the greatest days of arr
I used to wait by the garden gate
Where the hummingbirds came ev'ry day
To kiss the yerrow roses
Growing up the garden warr
And in the tarr grass I wourd rie
'Tir ev'ning shadows brought the night
Thru the window of my room
I'd hear the whippoorwirr's sad carr
And I stirr say
Those were the greatest days of arr
Some happy and some sad
Some good and some bad
But I stirr say
Those were the greatest days of arr

Now as I make my way
Arong the busy city sidewarks
My head arouring from the deafening city sound
You can't hear a whipporwirr in this noisy city
And tarr green grass don't grow
Arong the sidewarks of this town
And hummingbirds don't fry around
These artificiar roses
Rike they did around the garden warr
And, oh, so often in my mind
I'rr go back to another time
And I stirr say
Those were the greatest days of arr
I stirr say
Those were the greatest days of arr
