BAND PLAYS "Hello, Dolly!"

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, hello, London!

Ha-ha!

Whoo!

How's everybody doin' tonight?

Thank you so much.

Hi there.

Hello over there.

Oh, boy! You sound like you're in a partying mood.

Hi there, darling. How are you?

# Two doors down

# They're laughing and drinking and having a party, but

# Two doors down

# They're not aware that I'm around

# But here I am

# Just crying my heart out, feeling sorry

# But they're having a party

# Just two doors down

# So I think I'll dry these useless tears

# And get myself together

# I think I'll mosey down the hall

# And have a look around

# Cos I can't stay inside this lousy room and cry forever

# I think I'd really rather join 'em

# Two doors down

I would!

# Cos two doors down

# They're laughing and drinking and having a party, but

# Two doors down

# They're not aware that I'm around

# But here I am

# Just crying my heart out, feeling sorry

# But they're having a party

# Just two doors down... #

Let's party!

# Oh-oh-oh, oh

# Two doors down

# I'll be there, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, two doors down... #

Let's party!

# Oh-oh-oh, oh

# Two doors down

# Oh-oh-oh, oh

# Two doors down

# Yeah

# Two doors down

# They're laughing and drinking and having a party, but

# Two doors down

# They're not aware that I'm around

# But here I am

# I'm feeling everything but sorry and we're

# Having our own party

# Two doors down

# That's right, we're

# Having our own party

# Two doors

# Down. #

CHEERING

Yeah!

Hey, everybody!

Hey, you!

Thank you.

Anyhow...

I'm sure some of you - speaking of songs that you might know...

Some of you probably go back with me a long ways.

And you probably remember me singing about an old red-headed gal by the name of Jolene.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well, let's sing about her again!

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

# I'm begging of you

# Please don't take my man

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

# Please don't take him just because you can

# Your beauty is beyond compare

# With flaming locks of auburn hair

# With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

# Your smile is like a breath of spring

# Your voice is soft like summer rain

# I cannot compete with you

# Jolene

# He talks about you in his sleep

# There's nothing I can do to keep from crying

# When he calls your name

# Jolene

# Oh, but I can easily understand

# How you could easily take my man

# But you don't know what he means to me

# Jolene

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

# I'm begging of you

# Please don't take my man

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

# Please don't take him just because you can

# Now, you could have your choice of men

# I could never love again

# He's the only one for me

# Jolene

# But I had to have this talk with you

# My happiness depends on you

# And whatever you decide you'll do

# Jolene

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

# Oh, I'm begging of you

# Please don't take my man

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene

# Please don't take him just because you can

# Jolene

# Jolene

# Jolene. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you!

SHE CHUCKLES

Anyhow, thank you for remembering Jolene,

cos that song's kinda loosely based on a little truth

that happened years ago, when I first got married.

This old red-headed gal was working at the bank.

She decided she was going to steal my husband.

Well, she didn't get him.

CHEERING

I fought her like a wild cat, but I kept my husband.

And every now and then...

I look over at him sleeping and snoring in that La-Z-Boy chair and I think,

"Where is Jolene when I need her?"

I have a new CD out, and, er...

CHEERING

It's called Backwoods Barbie.

And it's just about a country girl.

As most country girls do,

when you don't have the money to buy the kind of clothes you like

and the make-up that you want,

you kinda dream and fantasise by looking at catalogues and whatever.

And of course, when I was growing up, I was the same way.

Cos I always wanted to be pretty.

And I really was very fascinated and impressed

with all of the women in town.

There was this one woman in town, that, er...

She wore, like, short skirts.

She had red toenails, red fingernails.

She had yellow hair, had it piled on her head.

Bright red lipstick.

Oh, and I thought she was the prettiest thing on earth.

And I'd say, "Oh, Momma, ain't she pretty?"

Mom'd say, "Oh, she ain't nothin' but trash!"

AUDIENCE CHUCKLE

And I thought right then,

"That is what I'm going to be when I grow up. Trash!"

AUDIENCE CHEER, DOLLY CHUCKLES

Oh, mercy!

And I tried to emulate everything she did.

You know, I'd pile my hair up.

I used to get whippings all the time for wearing my clothes like that,

but, you know, it scares me now, cos this...

There was this child that was emulating me - just imitating everything I did -

but I don't think his mother was...

LAUGHTER

I...

SHE CHUCKLES

In all seriousness, I did. I used to...

I'd go out in the fields and I would pick pokeberries -

you know, those wild berries with the juice that stains -

and I'd make fingernail polish,

I'd make toenail polish,

I'd make lipstick out of that.

I'd take kitchen matches, you know, strike 'em,

and I'd get them wet a little bit,

make me some eyebrows.

I used to put flour on my face, for powder.

That was not good,

on those hot summer days when you'd get to sweating and...

it would all kinda get around your neck like a little string of pearls.

SHE CHUCKLES

But anyway, I was just a kid and I was dreaming of growing up,

so later, I wrote a song that I think kinda fits that pretty good.

In fact, Steve, if you'll bring me that little country "gittar",

I'll just sing this song.

And it goes like this...

Thank you.

You ready?

INTRO TO "Backwoods Barbie" PLAYS

# I grew up poor and ragged

# Just a simple country girl

# I wanted to be pretty

# More than anything in the world

# Like Barbie or the models in the Frederick's catalogue

# From rags to wishes in my dreams

# I could have it all

# I'm just a backwoods Barbie

# Too much make-up, too much hair

# Don't be fooled by thinkin' that

# The goods are not all there

# Don't let these false eyelashes

# Lead you to believe

# That I'm as shallow as I look

# Cos I run true and deep

# I've always been misunderstood

# Because of how I look

# Don't judge me by the cover

# Cos I'm a real good book

# So read into it what you will

# But see me as I am

# The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam

# I'm just a backwoods Barbie

# In a push-up bra and heels

# I might look artificial

# But where it counts, I'm real

# And I'm all dolled up and hoping for

# A chance to prove my worth

# And even backwoods Barbies

# Get their feelings hurt

# I'm just a backwoods Barbie

# Too much make-up, too much hair

# But don't be fooled by thinking that

# The goods are not all there

# Yes, I can see where I could be

# Misjudged upon first glance

# But even backwoods Barbies

# Deserve a second chance

# I'm just a backwoods Barbie

# Just asking for a chance

# Just a backwoods Barbie. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Thanks so much.

For those of you that don't follow my career all that close,

and don't know that much about me personally,

I'd like to kind of just fill you in just a little bit.

I grew up in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee,

and I grew up on a farm.

I grew up in a family of 12 children.

There's six girls and six boys in our family.

And every time I say that...

Almost every time, somebody'll say, "Well, you must be Catholic."

CHUCKLING

No, we weren't Catholic. We was just randy, horny hillbillies and...

LAUGHTER

I don't mean that with any disrespect,

cos my folks loved each other and I don't think they knew what was causing it. I really don't.

Cos Mom was 15 when she married my daddy, and he was 17.

And when Momma was 35 and Daddy was 37,

they already had 12 children.

We got one set of twins. That's working pretty quick, wouldn't you think?

Course, my momma was like me - she never shut up.

She could just tell you anything, and make it sound good.

She could cook ANYTHING and make it taste good.

And she could sew anything and make it look pretty good,

-even if it was made...

-CHEERING

..from a bunch of scraps.

And this is a true story,

and I always think of Mom and Daddy.

And I lost Mom and Daddy both just a few years back, and I always feel like they're watching me.

So we'll dedicate this to all the good mommas and daddies that we have with us tonight.

And this goes like this...

INTRO TO "Coat of Many Colors"

# Back through the years I go wandering once again

# Back to the seasons of my youth

# And I recall a box of rags someone gave us

# And how my momma put the rags to use

# There were rags of many colours

# But 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 colours

# That I was so proud of

# While Momma sewed, she told a story

# From the Bible she had read

# 'Bout a coat of many colours

# Joseph wore, and then she said

# "I hope 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

# My coat of many colours

# That my momma made for me

# Made only from rags

# But I wore it so proudly

# And although we had no money

# I was rich as I could be

# In my coat of many colours

# Momma made for me

# So with patches on my britches

# Holes in both my shoes

# In my coat of many colours

# I hurried off to school

# Just to find the others laughing

# And making fun of me

# In my coat of many colours

# Momma made for me

# And oh, I couldn't understand that

# Cos I felt I was rich

# And I told 'em of the love

# Momma sewed in every stitch

# I even told 'em all that story

# Momma told me while she sewed

# And why my coat of many colours

# Was worth more than all their clothes

# They didn't understand it

# And I tried to make them see

# One is only poor

# Only if they choose to be

# It's true we had no money

# But I was rich as I could be

# In my coat of many colours

# Momma made for me

# Cos she made it just for me. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

INTRO TO "Only Dreamin'" PLAYS

# Oh, I know

# I'm only dreaming

# Cos I'll awake

# And you'll be gone

# And my tears

# Will still be streaming

# As my broken heart beats on

# Yes, I know

# I'm only dreaming

# But I'll just

# Keep dreaming on

# I will dream

# About the pleasures

# That we shared in days gone by

# And I'll remember

# And I'll treasure

# Every kiss

# And your kind eyes

# And I will dream

# That you still hold me

# In your arms

# As you did then

# And I'll recall

# Each thing you told me

# Hear your voice

# As I did when

# Yes, I know

# I'm only dreaming

# But I'll dream

# And I'll pretend

# Ohh

# Oh-o-ohh

# Ohh

# I'll be here

I'll be here

# And I'll be waiting

# And I will dream

# Of your return

# Some will say

# I'm being foolish

# While some will say

# That I'm just blind

# And that I won't

That I won't

# Face what the truth is

# What the truth is

# That you are

# No longer mine

# But I will dream

I will dream

# You'll be returning

You'll be returning

# Some sweet day

# To their surprise

# And you will say

# You will say

Your love's still burning

# Still burning

# You'll dry these teardrops

# From my eyes

# Oh, I know

# I'm only dreaming

# Cos I'll awake

# And be alone

# And my tears

# Will still be streaming

# And you will still

# Be just as gone

# Yes, I know

# I'm only dreaming

# But I'll just

# Keep dreaming

# On. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

How 'bout a nice hand for them? Thanks.

Oh, don't you love them old sad songs? I do.

That's just like therapy for me, getting all that out.

And I want to do a song for you now that's kind of an uplifting song.

It's really about people that get down on their luck,

and they kinda just wallow in their sorrow just a little too long,

and people get a little tired of listening to it after a while.

Although we all do it, and we all have a right to -

we have to get over what's bothering us, don't we?

But there comes a time when you have to get on with it and get back to living.

So that's what this song's about.

INTRO TO "Better Get to Livin'" PLAYS

# Oooh-hmm

# Ooh-hoo

# People always comin' up to me

# And asking "Dolly, what's your secret?" #

Like I've got one!

# "With all you do, your attitude

# "Just seems to be so good

# "How do you keep it?"

# Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama

# But I'll try

# To offer up a few words of advice

# You better get to living, giving

# Don't forget to throw in a little forgiving

# And loving on the way

# You better get to knowing, showing

# A little bit more concerned about where you're going

# Here's a word unto the wise

# You better get to living

# Ohh-oh

# A girlfriend came to my house

# Started crying on my shoulder Sunday evening

# Better get to living

# She was spinning such a sad tale

# I could not believe the yarn that she was weaving

# Better get to living

# So negative the words she had to say

# I said if I had a violin, I'd play

# I said you'd better get to living, giving

# Be willing and forgiving

# Cos all healing

# Has to start with you

# You better stop whining, pining

# Get your dreams in line and then just

# Shine, design, refine

# Till they come true

# And you better get to living

# Your life's a wreck

# Your house is mess

# And your wardrobe's way outdated

# All your plans just keep on falling through

# Overweight and underpaid

# Under-appreciated

# I'm no guru, but I'll tell you

# This I know is true

# You better get to living, giving

# A little more thought about being a little more willing

# To make a better way

Make a better way

# Don't sweat the small stuff

# Keep your chin up

# Just hang tough

# And if it gets too rough

# Fall on your knees and pray

# And do that every day

# Then you'll get to living

# Ohh-oh

# The day we're born, we start to die

# Don't waste one minute of this life

# Get to living

# Share your dreams and share your laughter

# Make some points for the great hereafter

# Better start caring

# Better start sharing

# Better start trying

# Better start smiling

# And you better get to living. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, thank you! Ha!

Whoo! I could hear you singing along to that one, too!

Wow!

Well, let's do another one of the newer songs.

This is one that I'm going to dedicate to all the gals out there,

and all you boys that might act like this sometimes.

It's called You Don't Know Love From Shinola.

# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

# Ooh-ooh

# You got a snazzy new car in your driveway

# Expensive new clothes on your back

# Every short skirt on the highway

# Has spent time in your bachelor pad

# We dance and you look o'er my shoulder

# And make eyes at somebody else

# You swear that you're not

# But you know that's a crock

# Cos you only care for yourself

# Your attitude stinks and I hate it

# You're arrogant, cocky and rude

# You're selfish, conceited and jaded

# Everything's all about you

# You think that I'm lucky to have you

# You think you're so handsome? So what?

# I'm calling you out cos I don't need this crap

# I'm gettin' myself out of Dodge

# Cos you don't know love from Shinola

# With you, love is not what I found

# A woman needs someone to hold her

# Not someone to just lay her down

# I want someone I can count on

# A cool head, a warm heart and shoulder

# To cry on, rely on, today and from now on

# But you don't know love from Shinola

# You don't know love

# From Shinola

# You don't know love

# Oh, but I gave you love and affection

# But you never gave one iota

# It was an early detection

# That you don't know love from Shinola

# You don't know love from Shinola

# You don't know what true love's about

# But you'll find your world growing colder

# When you're alone and without

# So go on, lover boy, have a big time

Have a big time

# Drink up on your bourbon and cola

# When you sober up, you'll be bleep out of luck

# Cos you don't know love from Shinola

# I'm in it for love but you're just playing stud

# But you don't know love

# From Shinola... #

And if you didn't get my message, I'll just say it again.

# You don't know love

-# You don't know love

-From Shinola

# You don't know love

# You don't know love

# But you don't know love

# From Shinola

# You don't, you don't

# You don't know love

# You don't know love. #

Honey, you don't know love from shoe polish!

Oh!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you!

Ha-ha-ha!

Oh! YOU know love from Shinola. I can feel it!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

So anyway, I'm going to sit down and play a song for you

that I wrote several years back.

And I was lucky that a few years ago,

a whole bunch of girls got together

and did a whole bunch of songs I'd written,

like Jolene, Coat Of Many Colors.

Folks like Shania Twain, Melissa Etheridge, Alison Krauss,

a whole bunch of great gals.

And Norah Jones picked this one to do.

She did a beautiful job.

I can't touch her version of it, but it is my song, so..!

I'm going to go over here and just kind of sit at the piano.

I'm not going to play it, I'm just going to sit at it.

No, not really. Anyway, I am going to play the piano on this one,

but I'm going to ask the singers to come down and help me

and it's a good time for me to introduce everybody to you

so you know who everybody is.

That is Richard Dennison.

Hi.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And this is Vicki Hampton.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And Jennifer O'Brien.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And this is called The Grass Is Blue.

You're going to help me out, right?

OK, here I go.

# Mm-mm-hmm-hmm

# Now I've had to think up

# Some way to survive

# Since you said it's over

# And told me goodbye

# And I just can't make it

# One day without you

# Unless I pretend

# That the opposite's true

# Rivers flow backwards

# Valleys are high

# Mountains are level

# And truth is a lie

# But I'm perfectly fine

# And I don't miss you

# And the sky is green

# And the grass is blue

# How much can a heart

# And a troubled mind take?

# Tell me where is that fine line

# Before it all breaks?

# Can one end their sorrow?

# Just cross over it

# And go into that realm

# Of insanity's bliss?

# There's snow in the tropics

# There's ice on the sun

# It's hot in the Arctic

# And crying is fun

# And I'm happy now

# And I'm so glad we're through

# And the sky is all green

# And the grass is all blue

# And the rivers flow backwards

# And my tears are dry

# Swans hate the water

# And eagles can't fly

# But I'm all right now

# Now that I'm over you

# And the sky is green

# And the grass is blue

# The sky is green

# And the grass

# Is blue. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Woo!

Ah, thank you.

I'm going to ask the rest of the band to come down and help me sing on this one.

# No-one in-between

# How can we be wrong?

# Sail away with me to another world

# And we rely on each other, ah-ah

# From one lover to another, ah-ah

# I can't live without you if the love is gone

# Everything is nothin' if you got no-one

# And you just walk in tonight

# Slowly losin' sight of the real thing

# But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt

# Too deep in love and we got no way out

# And the message is clear

# This could be the year for the real thing

# No more will you cry

# Maybe I will hurt you never

# We start and end as one

# In love forever

# We can ride it together, ah-ah

# Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

# Islands in the stream

# That is what we are

# No-one in-between

# How can we be wrong?

# Sail away with me to another world

# And we rely on each other, ah-ah

# From one lover to another, ah-ah

# Oh-oh-oh!

# Come on, sail away with me-e-e!

# Oh-oh-oh!

# Come on, sail away with me-e-e!

# Sail away, sail away, sail away! #

Whoo! All right!

Thank you, Richard! Whoo!

Oh, boy, you are going now!

How about some Nine To Five while you're at it?

Now, come on!

# Well, I tumble outta bed

# And a-stumble to the kitchen

# Pour myself a cup of ambition

# And yawn and stretch and try to come to life

# I jump in the shower And the blood starts pumpin'

# Out on the streets The traffic starts jumpin'

# With folks like me on the job from nine to five

# Workin' nine to five

# What a way to make a livin'

# Barely gettin' by It's all takin' and no givin'

# They just use your mind

# And they never give you credit

# It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

# Nine to five for service and devotion

# You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion

# I want to move ahead

# But the boss won't seem to let me

# I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

# Oooh!

# They let your dream Just to watch 'em shatter

# You're just a step On the boss man's ladder

# But you got dreams he'll never take away

# You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends

# Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in

# And the tide's gonna turn

# And it's all gonna roll this way I just know it!

# Workin' nine to five

# What a way to make a livin'

# Barely gettin' by It's all takin' and no givin'

# They just use your mind

# And they never give you credit

# It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

# Nine to five They got you where they want you

# There's a better life And y'all dream about it, don't you?

# It's a rich man's game I don't care what they call it

# And you spend your life Puttin' money in his wallet

# Nine to five

# Just workin', workin', workin'

# Workin' nine to five

# They got you workin' round the clock

# Workin' nine to five

# They keep you workin' workin', workin'

# Workin' nine to five

# Nine to fi-i-i-ive! #

Wah-hoo!

Oh, I can hear you singin' out there!

You know that better than me.

Come on, let's do it again!

# Workin' nine to five

# What a way to make a livin'

# Barely gettin' by It's all takin' and no givin'... #

-They just use your mind...

-# They just use your mind

-# And they never give you credit

-It's enough to drive you

# Crazy if you let it! #

Wah-hoo!

Wow!

That sounds so good up here.

It does! I'm telling you!

I'm gonna have to put you folks on some boats and take you home with me

and get some tour buses and hit the road with you!

DOLLY LAUGHS

This was always my dream - to be out on stage singing my songs

to people that love the songs and that love me

and of course you know I will always love you.

CHEERING

What a great idea for a song!

I think I'll write it and get it to Whitney.

DOLLY LAUGHS

Thank you so much.

# If I should stay

# Well, 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

# I guess that's all I'll be taking with me

# Goodbye, please now don't you cry

# Cos we both know

# That I'm not what you need

# But I

# Will always love you

# I will always

# Love you-ou-ou

# I hope life

# Treats you real kind

# I hope you have all you ever dreamed of

# Oh, I do wish you joy

# I wish you lots of happiness

# But above all this

# I wish you lo-o-o-ove

# And I

# I will always, always love you-ou-ou

# I will always love you-ou-ou

# I will always lo-o-o-o-ove

# You-ou-ou!

# You know I'll always

# Love you. #

Thank you and God bless you.

Thank you.

Thanks so much.

FIDDLE PLAYS "I Will Always Love You"

Wow!

Oh, thank you.

Wow!

Thank you! Whoo!

-Well, I could just stay here for another month.

-CHEERING

Wow! Well, thanks. We usually leave after I Will Always Love You

cos that's my big signature song but I couldn't just walk out

-without showing you my new shirt!

-DOLLY LAUGHS

I guess you know I'm going to do a song

and it talks about balance and reality and spirituality.

This is another song from the Backwoods Barbie CD and it's one of my favourites.

So people don't know whether to get up or get down on this song -

it's just feelings, it's just about people that feel like, you know,

when you think you can fly away something's always going to humble you and bring you down

and I guess that's good cos we just can't fly away till it's time to get to heaven, can we?

We've got to go through a little hell in order to get to heaven.

Anyway, this is called Jesus & Gravity.

# Oh-ho!

# Mm-hm!

# I'm to the point where it don't add up

# I can't say I've come this far with my guitar on pure dumb luck

# That's not to say I know it all

# Cos every time

# I get too high up on my horse I fall

# Cos I've got somethin' lifting me up, somethin' holdin' me down

# Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground

# I've got all I need

# Jesus and gravity

# But I'm as bad as anyone

# Takin' all these blessin's in my life for granted one by one

# When I start to thinkin' it's all me

# Well, somethin' comes along and knocks me right back on my knees

# And I've got somethin' lifting me up, somethin' holding me down

# Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground

# I've got all I need

# Jesus and gravity

# He's my friend

# He's my light

# He's my wings

# He is my fli-i-ight

# And I've got somethin' lifting me up, somethin' holding me down

# Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground

# I've got all I'm gonna need

-# I've got Jesus!

-Jesus

# Jesus

# And I've got somethin' lifting me up, somethin' holding me down

# Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground

# I've got all I'll ever need

-# Cos I've got Jesus!

-Jesus

# And gravity

# Jesus!

# I've got Jesus, I've got Jesus

# He's my everything

# He lifts me up

# He gives me wings

# He gives me hope

# Jesus

# And he gives me stre-e-ength

# He is my life

# He's my guide

# He is my wings

# He is my flight

# Lift me

# I got Jesus

# I've got Jesus and that's all I need. #

Thank you.

# Lifting me up, holding me down

# Lifting me up, holding me down

CHEERING
