It’s Sure Gonna Hurt (1962) written by Dolly Parton and Bill Owens (her uncle) It may not kill me, but it's sure gonna hurt Since my baby left me, I don't know what to do Just couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw him with you He left me for you, oh he's treating me like dirt It may not kill me, but it's sure gonna hurt Chorus: It's sure gonna hurt to lose you My poor heart's in pain Don't see how you could abuse me It's driving me insane Oh you're both out paintin' the town red, well I'm paintin' it too But I'm not paintin' the town red, I'm paintin' it blue It hurts to lose everything to such a little flirt It may not kill me, but it's sure gonna hurt

Don't try to cry your way out of this Dumb Blonde (1967) Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it Don't try to make me feel sorry for you Just because I'm blonde Don't think I'm dumb Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool When you left you thought I'd sit An' you thought I'd wait An' you thought I'd cry You called me a dumb blonde Ah, but somehow I lived through it And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned Blondes have more fun You flew too high up off the ground It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down But I've found new thread for my old spool Just because I'm blonde Don't think I'm dumb Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

I can see you're disappointed By the way you look at me And I'm sorry that I'm not The woman you thought I'd be Yes, I've made my mistakes But listen and understand My mistakes are no worse than yours Just because I'm a woman So when you look at me Don't feel sorry for yourself Just think of all the shame 1968 You might have brought somebody else Just let me tell you this Then we'll both know where we stand My mistakes are no worse than yours Just because I'm a woman
- 10. Now a man will take a good girl And he'll ruin her reputation But when he wants to marry Well, that's a different situation He'll just walk off and leave her To do the best she can While he looks for an angel To wear his wedding band Now I know that I'm no angel If that's what you thought you'd found I was just the victum of A man that let me down Yes, I've made my mistakes But listen and understand My mistakes are no worse than yours Just because I'm a woman
- 11. Back through the years I go wanderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags to use There were rags of many colors Every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall Momma sewed the rags together Sewing' every piece with love She made my coat of many colors That I was so proud of 1971 As she sewed, she told a story From the bible, she had read About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and then she said Perhaps this coat will bring you Good luck and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it And momma blessed it with a kiss
- 12. And oh I couldn't understand it My coat of many colors For I felt I was rich That my momma made for me And I told them of the love Made only from rags My momma sewed in every stitch But I wore it so proudly And I told 'em all the story Although we had no money Momma told me while she sewed I was rich as I could be And how my coat of many colors In my coat of many colors Was worth more than all their clothes My momma made for me But they didn't understand it So with patches on my britches And I tried to make them see Holes in both my shoes That one is only poor In my coat of many colors Only if they choose to be I hurried off to school Now I know we had no money Just to find the others laughing But I was rich as I could be And making fun of me In my coat of many colors In my coat of many colors My momma made for me My momma made for me Made just for me
- 13. If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you each step of the way And I will always love you I will always love you Bittersweet memories That's all I am taking with me Good-bye, please don't cry We both know that I'm not what you need I hope life will treat you kind from the album, And I hope that you have all “Jolene” (1974) That you ever dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all of this, I wish you love And I will always love you
- 14. Here you come again Just when I'm about to make it work without you You look into my eyes And light those dreamy eyes And pretty soon I'm wonderin' How I came to doubt you All you gotta do Is smile that smile And there go all my defenses Just leave it up to you And in a little while You're messin' up my mind Here You Come Again An' fillin' up my senses 1977 Here you come again Here you come again Lookin' better than a body Just when I'm about to make it work Has a right to without you An' shakin' me up so You waltz right in the door That all I really know Just like you done before Is here you come again And wrap my heart 'round your little An' here I go finger
- 15. To Know Him Is To Love Him 1987 To know know know him Is to love love love him Just to see him smile Makes my life worthwhile To know know know him Is to love love love him And I do I'll be good to him I'll bring love to him Everyone says there'll come a day When I'll walk alongside of him Yes just to know him Is to love love love him And I do Why can't he see How blind can he be Someday he will see That he was meant for me
- 16. As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing A tune about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are saying It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting wife It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song 1993 Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong It's a shame that all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men feel the same From the start most every heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame
- 17. Well I met a boy from Grassy Branch Fine as he can be I met him at the big barn dance And he took a shine to me Sky-blue eyes, a big wide smile And tall as a sycamore tree He's real smart with a real big heart And he's gonna marry me He's gonna marry me And we're gonna go to town 2001 We're gonna buy some real good car And we're gonna drive around We'll hold hands an' touch 'n' hug He talks so sweet to me Cause he knows a lot about love and stuff And he's gonna marry me
- 18. His momma don't like me one little bit But you know I don't care Let her pitch her hissy-fit Cause I ain't a'marryin' her He's always been a momma's boy It's just plain jealousy She's as mad as an old wet hen Cause he's gonna marry me Oh, an' he's gonna marry me An' he's gonna buy me a ring We're gonna be so free Cut momma's apron strings He's gonna build me a pretty little house Have a pretty little bed-for-three Cause he done kiss me on the mouth An' he's gonna marry me

- 23. Now we don't know what heaven looks like But we've seen enough hell right here and right now But when the road is the roughest And the problems are the toughest Or when the times are the hardest And that ol' sky turns the darkest You gotta keep the faith 'cause I believe there's a better day And those ol' blues, why they're gonna just roll right on away I know they are, listen to me... All that's blue ain't sky and sea Some of that blue's bound to get on me But the blues don't come to stay They'll move away on a better day Troubles and woes and misery Ain't gonna get the best of me Lift the shades, fix my gaze On a better day clear away
- 24. Better days just up ahead When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed When people ain't messin' with my head There's a better way, there's a brighter day Oh, there's a better day with clearer skies Hope and promise on the rise Oh, the future, well, it's lookin' bright, on a better day Look away, look away There's a better day Oh better day just up ahead When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed And people ain't messin' with my head There's a better day, there's a better day Oh, all that's blue, it ain't sky and sea Some of that blue's gonna fall on me Oh, the future's lookin' bright There's a better day, look away, look away

"Early on in my career, I'd won [Song of the Year] in 1966, and I asked him to go with me. ... He was so uncomfortable," she says. "He said: 'Now I want you to do everything you want to do.

- Originally recorded by Kitty Wells, 1952response to “The Wild Side of Life” bu Hank ThompsonIn "The Wild Side of Life," Thompson expresses regret that his bride-to-be has left him for another man whom she met in a roadhouse, stating "I didn't know that God made honky tonk angels." That song and its appeal to people who "thought the world was going to hell and that faithless women deserved a good deal of the blame ... just begged for an answer from a woman," wWells’ release began the story — which blamed unfaithful men and women for creating unfaithful women[1] — became the first No. 1Billboard country hit for a solo female artist.
