Goodbye, Ms. Dolly

Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
On a farm, in a cabin
You loved your family
That never knew no riches
No wealth, or shiny things

[Pre-Chorus]
Yet, you dreamed of Nashville
Of money and of fame
You wore your coat of colors
Then the world knew your name

[Chorus]
Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
Now Heaven is your home
You are now in glory
You are where you belong
Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
Now Heaven is your home
You are now in glory
You are where you belong

[2nd Verse]
Your life it was not easy
You worked and fought each day
You sang your songs and tried to
Play along to get paid

[Pre-Chorus]
But then you told your friend Porter
You wanted to stand alone
And said I’ll always love you
And then you proved them all wrong

[Chorus]
Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
Now Heaven is your home
You are now in glory
You are where you belong
Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
Now Heaven is your home
You are now in glory
You are where you belong

[Bridge]
Now you can say hello to
Your loved ones and your friends
Now you can see your husband
You lived out your life with
Now you can meet your Savior
And have joy that will not end

[Interlude]
Just know that we will miss you
Until when we all can see you
Soon once again
Soon once again

[Outro]
Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
Now Heaven is your home
You are with your Maker
You are where you belong
Goodbye, Ms. Dolly
Now Heaven is your home
You are with your Maker
You are where you belong
