Writer Dolly Parton

From album Little Sparrow





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

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

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 red 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 aprin strings

He's gonna build me a pretty little house

Have a pretty little made-for-three

Cause he done kiss me on the mouth

An' he's gonna marry me

Yeah, he's gonna marry me

He's gonna buy me a ring

We're gonna be so free

Cut momma's aprin strings

He's gonna build me a pretty little house

Have a pretty little made-for-three

Cause he's done kiss me on the mouth

So he's gotta marry me

Yeah he's done kiss me on the mouth

And he's gonna marry me
