@Lois Griffin ~ “I love me a Dolly Parton story song and this one is an absolute classic. I appreciate that it's more pleasant than some of the other story songs (Down From Dover, Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark) in the sense that it doesn't involve a child dying.  And I could listen to Dolly yodel all day.”

US Hot Country Songs Peak: #1 (Spent 15 Weeks on Chart)

US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Peak: #8
