Dolly Parton - Travelin' Prayer Lyrics

My music school high school choir conductor did an arrangement of this version of this song and we all had a blast performing it with a bluegrass quartet.

This the the a lady of the Hills she's all that marry X-mass from state of KENNTUCKY and Mel Gibson son Jimmy jr.

Dolly and her 3 bluegrass albums are the best thing ever!! Grass Is Blue, Little Sparrow and Halos & Horns

My GOD I simply adore Dolly. Forget the "Parton" any more Dolly. It's DOLLY. Like Cher and many others. Just Dolly dearest.

This littie Laddy is me & my father to ageing old frots for the hills & her yours Mels son Jimmy Twomanny.

Dolly's bottom don't got a heat bomb on it even if her grass is blue her song tavlers pary is Air Amreca two staring Mel Gibson she needs my father Mel Gibson&my dogo Willow May PS she likes being called Maggie May she's not Right but Dolly Parton can put her on like a bow tie when but starts talking about going out of town Whit Air Amreca yours Mel Gibson son James eddward Pryor jr PS May be this X-Mass 2020 AD.

Father if Ms Dolly Parton tells Maggie your ass is a bow tie you've got the Hizmen your on the set art you Father Mel Gibson First born tell her father you was not out of town when I was born

Yes, I didn't know it!
Only heard Billy's.

Perfect song from a great album.

Does nobody know this was a cover song written by Billy Joel and on his 2nd album Piano Man?

Actually, I was listening to a long Joel playlist, came across this song (again) and thought that the piano was very banjo-like and wondered if anyone covered it with one. So after some searching, was delighted to find this!

Well, not sure if it's bluegrass or cowboy (country). Believe it or not, there IS a small difference. Either way, they both sound good, but I am more partial to Billy, always have been a huge fan. I do like Dolly, but not as much.

Yep. I didn't know she had covered it until I heard it at Dollywood a week ago.

TOMMIE BELL ]of course

I grew up with Billy Joel's 'Piano Man' album. That version is kick-ass, like it was written for tweakers.

pretty good

My all-time favorite song of hers, far above any of her hits. This takes it back to where she came from.

Its billy joel's song originally, this is a cover... So thats awkward hahaha

+Isobel Munn Yes it is:) I wasn't actually thinking about it being hers in the sense that she wrote it, but in the sense that she performed it. But I can't deny, I didn't know who wrote it and might have assumed it was her. I need to remember what my mom said, to never assume :)

@MelanieAF ahhh right, yeah does sing it pretty well, i personally prefer the original but im pretty biased hahaha

the queen of country, without doubt.  She would be a world star what ever generation she was born into.  Amazing singer.

i begin any road trip by cranking this on the car stereo!

now do matter of trust, big D!

You must be kidding!

3:42, sickest guitar break ever.

Dolly simply wonderful... <3

This song is nice, I luv Bluegrass! <3

Thumbs up for Billy Joel and Dolly!!!

@njbubba27 You're nuts!! LOL. To each their own...

I saw her perform this song on her "Hello, Dolly!" tour at the American Airlines Center in 200-something in Dallas. I took my best friend (at the time) Angela, to the concert, and tickets were $75 each for a cheap seat. The concert was fantastic, though, and the opening act was the Grascals! Still, even after the Grascals performed, they still told us it was gonna be half an hour until Dolly would appear onstage.

thanks for posting, beautiful and exciting cover of the Billy Joel tune

Love this song so much!

What's even more amazing is how a New Yorker Pop/Rocker singer like Billy Joel can write such an authentic sounding Bluegrass song when aged only in his early 20s, nearly 40 years ago.

His version really does not sound like bluegrass.
