[Dolly Parton - The Greatest Days of All lyrics]
A dirt dabber built it's 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 off 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 every day
To kiss the yellow roses
Growing up the garden wall
And in the tall grass I would lie
'Til evening shadows brought the night
Threw 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 a-roaring from the
Deafening city sounds
You can't hear a whippoorwill
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
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 off 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 every day
To kiss the yellow roses
Growing up the garden wall
And in the tall grass I would lie
'Til evening shadows brought the night
Threw 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 a-roaring from the
Deafening city sounds
You can't hear a whippoorwill
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
