Seriously, she had the sweetest, most beautiful smile that there ever could be. Also, when she sings 'in my Tennessee mountain home', so much could go wrong there but she nails that high part every time.
The lyrics are pure poetry, to mention nothing of that beautiful soaring melody in the chorus. Nobody comes close to writing music with the innocence and honesty of Dolly Parton.
The way she said “I don’t know no Bill Cheatum” 😂. Sounded like she didn’t think Porter was funny. Love that Dolly is never afraid to let people know how she feels off the cuff.
It's my theory that Dolly Parton is the only person that everyone in America loves whether they're urban or rural, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, gay or straight.
Change that to "everyone in the world" and you're right :-) She's loved all over the world. I've talked to people from Nigeria who says this song makes them think of their home town where they grew up :-)
i know this comment is two months old, but if you havent listened to the podcast called Dolly Parton's America, you should; the entire 9 episodes are about the universal likability of Dolly, and a lot of it is direct interviewing with dolly.
Porter was so damn jealous of Dolly! He knew her talent was light years ahead of his. Unfortunately he could never admit it publicly. Dolly stayed Classy, while Porter was an ass.
+N2tech Where are you from here ? Im in Bristol Virginia. Went to ETSU.Lived on South Holston River my whole life. Go to Gatlinburg and Dollywood on the regular. Hello my Appalachian and Smokey mountain friends !!!!
I love this song so much, never been to Tennessee but it's definitely a place I plan to visit mostly because of the way Dolly writes about it and I'd love to see Nashville. DOLLY IS A BADASS
I see you left this 3 years ago, I hope you have been to the mountains, nothing like it! Thankfully I live fairly close to make it our yearly vacation place to go.
when i here this song i always picture me sitting on front porch . then my tears start to come becueas i been so cloes to it my self, so i can see my self in here . I loved dollys songs sence i was a young Kid , she followed me thru life , the sencerity of her songs a unbelievable .And when she passes it will be a big lost for this worlrd and country music and gossple, and for ppl that look up to her and her singing Bless you Dolly xxx
This is truly country music at its finest point, she sang this with only her guitar on Carson back in 1986, and she haunted the crowd with her amazing talent.
I have always loved this song it reminds of my loveing mother she passed away 3this July I finding wanting to talk to her I haven't been the same since
I grew up in a town 4 hours away from where Dolly is from. Where another country music star was born and raised I am talking about Dottie West. I grew up on this music cause of my parent's especially Dolly. Dolly was always playing.
Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love Just laughin', talkin', making future plans And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by
This is one of Dolly's early masterpieces. It casts a spell so you can smell the honeysuckle. Why has it not been named as an official state song of Tennessee, who knows?????????
I just fried an egg with some bear grease that I bought off an old country gentleman from Sevier County, Tennessee. He was a real nice guy. Thank you for the song, Dolly. Tennessee is a gorgeous place.
and. oh hey,Harvey Martin,if you get this message, your friend from long ago when we met as children, from the Church Of God Prohecy in Shelbyville Tennessee, where my mommas' family from and i grew u art of my childhood.,but i just wanted to thank you for the Piano songs you and the ride in your Pickup truck. its was very sweet.Somethings you cant forget. thanks Mojo from the eastern shore, Holla! ,
Just about anywhere you go along the Blueridge Mountains I would say is the prettiest place on earth. We spend every vacation almost in the mountains in SC, NC, TN and VA in the Shenandoah Valley.
My uncle in 1998 loved the music. He made me love the music since I was little kid. Moreblessing ❤️
I love how the web allows you to time travel.
Seriously, she had the sweetest, most beautiful smile that there ever could be. Also, when she sings 'in my Tennessee mountain home', so much could go wrong there but she nails that high part every time.
Dolly in the 60s and 70s was probably the prettiest women alive. She had the best smile
Who is still listening with me 2020
Hey from Edmonton Alberta✌
she’s still just as awesome in 2020!!! LIVER ME SONE DOLLY!!!🥰😍❤️
Any time I get to hear and see her, I take it!
The lyrics are pure poetry, to mention nothing of that beautiful soaring melody in the chorus. Nobody comes close to writing music with the innocence and honesty of Dolly Parton.
The way she said “I don’t know no Bill Cheatum” 😂. Sounded like she didn’t think Porter was funny. Love that Dolly is never afraid to let people know how she feels off the cuff.
and the way he said "shut up." and his smile dropped immediately before picking back up was just... chilling.

Rural, socialist queer here and she's the best damn thing to bless our nation. Dolly Parton is an American hero and a living goddess.
not only in America ! Writing from Austria, central europe =)
Dolly is phenomenal.
Dolly was the only reason I would watch the Porter Waggoner show.
i never realised what a goddess she is..
when you hear the song you can picture it in mind!
I'll live there
Yeah. Some bug infested house with no electricity. Sounds amazing
Missing my lovely hometown down southern part of Nigeria
Missing my Southern Cameroons.
Dolly said she "never felt like she was pretty!?" Whaaaat?
Rachelle Walters ikr she was a doll 😍
She's gorgeous
I also remember the good old days. My daddy, may God bless your soul for us. Dolly, wonderful songs.
Sunday Okoosi ...same here
I lived in Sevierville tn almost my whole life. I miss Tennessee so bad now that I moved to Virginia. There's no place like it.
take me too
My sister is moving there next year from Georgia. It's gorgeous there.
I can't listen to this song with out getting home sick and tearing up.
N2tech me too!
+N2tech Where are you from here ? Im in Bristol Virginia. Went to ETSU.Lived on South Holston River my whole life. Go to Gatlinburg and Dollywood on the regular. Hello my Appalachian and Smokey mountain friends !!!!
Me three!
+Gilla goood ilove you
It's a beautiful place huh ?!?
Dolly makes all her songs seem so easy to sing (they're not)
Easy for me but then again my family is from the same area Dolly is from in Sevier County TN.
Agreed - The lady has some serious pipes!! (brought here courtesy of the "Dolly Parton's America" podcast.
I never really like her wigs that much, but her old wigs from the 70s are so amazing I love them!!!!
I love this song so much, never been to Tennessee but it's definitely a place I plan to visit mostly because of the way Dolly writes about it and I'd love to see Nashville. DOLLY IS A BADASS

Porter introduced a great singer. I am from Tennessee and really enjoy this song.
I love all of her songs
Hello Kathy how are you doing today
Love love love her. What a gift to the world she has been
It doesn't matter what is going on, as soon as I see that smile and hear that voice, all is right in the world. Love Dolly!!
This women is a saint. East Tennessee boy. Born and breed!
This is truly country music at its finest point, she sang this with only her guitar on Carson back in 1986, and she haunted the crowd with her amazing talent.
Take me on home Dolly, down those country roads to the hills of Tennessee. Thanks Porter and Dolly.
This is REAL TALENT
her voice is so beautiful, it’s pure joy💛💛💛
Man, why can't I sing like Dolly!
Hi Jennie how are you doing today
Such beautiful range. Now THIS is a singer. Not these dummies on the radio today. Pure talent.
Nice lyrics and beautiful song
Brought here by Dolly Parton's America and not a country music fan, but she has a voice of made of pure honey.
I love this song..
I always feel sad when I hear this song from the greatest dolly parton.
It brings back memories from back home in Africa
In episode 3 of this podcast a Kenyan singer agrees with you :)

What a great voice.

Hello Khristine how are you doing today

Fröhliche Stunden sind,die schönsten Inseln
im großen Meer der Zeit.
,,,,Namaste ,,,,,Merci

Hello Janice how are you doing today
I grew up in a town 4 hours away from where Dolly is from. Where another country music star was born and raised I am talking about Dottie West. I grew up on this music cause of my parent's especially Dolly. Dolly was always playing.
Good music of all times
Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
I will always emotional when she sings. I lv her
Wow I sure loved just looking at you in 70s
Oh Father Lord I have no words to this much talented Woman blessed more than this Dolly Porton 😍👄💋💘❤👏

My favorite Dolly song
Dang, that dude's coat is made of stained glass window
He's what they call a rhinestone cowboy
niqueth Well, then, shine on good man!
I think those suits were made by a specific designer. Porter Wagoner was quite the showman.

I’d spend a year building a porch for that women just to hear her sing this song.
True colors ...;-)))

Dolly Parton is the epitome of femininity.
