Dolly please listen to me
You really are barking up the wrong tree
I know how much you love your man
And between you both I'd never stand

Surely you must recognise
My auburn hair and emerald eyes
Your man he once was quite the lad
And I found out that he's my dad

My happiness depends on him
Accepting that I am his kin
He didn't want to believe it's true
He's worried it will upset you

And I can easily understand
Why you might not want me around
He's the only father I'll ever know
But if it cost him you, he'd let me go.
