On Tuesday night, the legendary Dolly Lee Parton blessed Late show with Stephen Colbert To discuss his new book, Dolly Lee Parton, Songteller: My Life in Song.
“I can’t wait for this year to end, can you? Crazy! ”Exclamation point.
There was a lovely relationship between the two, in which Colbert appeared in the true sense (and very understanding) of his guest’s amazement – so that the conversation never touched politics.
During an exchange, the late night host also burst into tears. The tender moment came when Parton was describing his late mother Avi Lee Owens Parton songs.
“Mama used to sing all those songs from the old world. Mama was also a good singer, and she only sang one capella at all times, ”Parton explained. “Many of those songs were sad, and as I say, some of them are just ‘Plum Merciful.’ But there was one song he sang called ‘Be Me Without The Willow’. It was about the girl who was going to get married.” Remained, and her boyfriend put her on the altar or whatever, so she died, of course – he killed, I believe. “
Then, Parton fell into part of the song. “Bury me under the willow, under the weeping willow tree, where he would know where I was sleeping and maybe he would cry for me,” he sang, and added, “Oh where could he be? He’s gone to find his other wife.” , He doesn’t care much for me anymore. “
Colbert first registered gossip, then started tearing it – and was forced to remove his glasses and clean his eyes.
“Are you crying?” Asked Parton.
“I have to say … like a lot of Americans I’m in a lot of stress now, Dolly Lee!” Said Colbert. “You came right under my tripod, I’ll tell you … it was so beautiful.”
Parton replied, “Mommy will cry, we’ll cry, those old songs were just amazing,” Parton replied.
It was a nice relief to the usual Trump-joke Strum und Drang.
