Corn Song
Before Dolly could even write, her mother was already helping her write her own songs. At such a young age, the lyrics were simply spilling out of little Dolly. Her first song was called “Little Tiny Tasseltop.” Here is an excerpt from her earliest work: “Little tiny tasseltop, I love you an awful lot. Corn silk hair and big brown eyes, How you make me smile.”
5,000 Songs
Do you have any idea how many songs she has written? We bet you did not even come close. Dolly Parton has penned over 5,000 songs! Only a fraction has been released, though Dolly tries to compose new ones every two to three days. Wow!
