The Greatest Days Of All - 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
