    Gotta Love Dolly..

  • my so called mother left on my first birthday. i know how dolly feels but its made me the man i am today so thx mum

  • awesome song dolly.

    

  • That last image of Dolly just kills me. They could have left the creepy kid out at the end.

  • i´`d like to be Dolly Parton......She`s awsome!

  • Love Dolly and Alison

  • It takes the hurt that's down deep inside, and somehow shines a light on the pain--but says it's "It's OK to hurt a little and let it all out; you deserve it"....

  • She is the very best. And it never hurts to have alison backing you....... Great video. Maybe the very best of the songs that she recorded and other people wrote.......

  • She is absolutely top of all the singing Legends

  • Replying the las line of what Smertopia said a month ago telling us to go stick your jesus well you know where, for your information, I am a christian who loves Jesus Christ and accepted him as my personal lord and savior. So, Jesus is stuck in my heart. I go to church both morning and evening services on Sundays. Please ask him to come into your heart and have the love for him as he loves you all. GOd bless you.

  • dedicated to my 1 & only son...

  • @gjco81501 I don't know who you are, but I am thinking about you - I lost the best friend I ever had to suicide just over 3 years ago. Take care.

  • Shelia....shelia....shelia....­.

  • ...forever...forever in our hearts...

  • This certainly says it all as to how I feel losing my husband, you meant everything to me and sometimes the hurt is unbearable. I hope you are happy thats all I ever wanted.

  • Dad left us Thanksgiving morning. Sitting in his chair looking out the window and just stopped breathing. Happy crossing Dad (1914-2011).

  • kaldaddy1 I know just how you feel, I lost my husband after 42 years and this song and 2 others that she sings remind me so much of how I feel still after 1 year.

  • Dolly Parton, congratulations! His voice is wonderful and this song is very beautiful!

  • It sucks getting old... I feel for you Kalbodaddy. Im pushing 50 and hearing old songs puts a tear in my eye because it really makes me long for my youth.

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know what kinda instrument she play at 2:20 ?

  • @BaoBao111189 It is called an autoharp. My Mom played one a bunch.

  • I think of Micheal and Brook .I think of those that lost a person they loved and needed.

  • OMG.......Why am I Crying.....Dolly, Allison.....

    I'm Dying for All of Us that are Hurting.

    This song is Beautiful beyond Words.

  • YOU LEFT ME ..JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST WHY???? I love you always and ever !!!!!

  • Lovely Dolly....just lovely. 

  • what a beautiful song you can relate to so many situations we all face in life. I cant imagine being without someone having spent for 46 years together im sure you have many many happy memories together that will never leave you and no-one can ever take from you.

  • What else is new? People leave when the cabinet's empty

  • This version of the song is heart wrenching. Why won't my mouth stop frowning??

  • Best singing technique and musical arrangements of this song ever !

  • The 27-times Grammy award winner Alison Krauss as her backup singer which makes this video script even more valuable.

  • her version is good i like it

  • To mum and dad, you just left when you were needed most. You are now looking fro the heavenly bacon, seeing the suffering of your only child. We shall meet soon.

  • She sings this song as pretty as the first day of heaven.

  • to dominguez7826...I'm sorry you had to go through that but if she was on Meth, she wasn't thinking of anyone but herself, she was a very sick person. But resentments only hurt yourself. I hope you can someday let go of that and forgive her not for her but for you! She can never take back what she did, but just know it wasn't that you weren't good enough, it was because she was a very sick person at the time.

  • its great deputydog857 dosent know what hes tlkin bout her version rocks

  • dolly is dolly....love you girl...

  • Dominque: Please pray for your mothers happiness and you will be happy instead of holding on to a bitter life. You may have no idea about why she left - but this song isn't the answer. It's a beautiful song - don't use it for bitter-sweet ends.

  • :)

  • @Deputydog Wow! so mature of you

  • I lost my Dad in 2007 and still can't  believe he is gone...

  • dominuguez.... wish you all the best...

  • beautiful

    

  • awesome

  • I totally forgot how huge her boobs were until 1:09, holy. This is such a beautiful song.

  • Beautiful song

  • This is so saaaad :( :( :( :(***

  • @tony6221986 I was thinking the saaame thing :)

  • I hope that when you hear this song, you finally understand what it means to truly love someone. I didn't love you an eternity hoping to see you walk away. I loved you because I felt it and, Honey, I really meant it when I said I needed you in my life. I am sorry I could not give you more, or provide you with the opulence you are accustomed to. Stupid of me, I thought that loving you sincerely was enough...I wish life gives you enough. You deserve the best.

  • beautiful music

  • I love this song.. no matter who sings it. I kicked my X out of m house 20 yrs ago for cheating. I cried every day and night asking WHY.. I thought we could be friends as he asked of me .. but he 'left me.. just when I needed him the most. He made a new life and I'm still wondering "why? "u left me just when i needed u most"

  • @TheLadyrose01 but you made him leave......

  • @jd7x7jd Yes I did! I do not tolerate cheating or lies or hypocrisy. so he chose the low life. what hurts the most is that he told me he loved me every day of our relationship.

  • @TheLadyrose01 Well fair enough. I guess people are different. When my second boyfriend asked me if I minded him sleeping with another guy I said of course not, go ahead. :)

  • "I didn't stand in your way...." That's the bit that cuts me deepest every time I hear this song. The most beautiful, loving woman in the world left me on a cold August morning in 2002 because I was too proud to "stand in her way." She was involved in a motor vehicle accident about five kilometres from where we lived and was in a coma for five months before losing her battle. I crawled inside a bottle of whiskey and didn't come out for seven years. Now every day, I wish I'd begged her to stay.

  • @mistertube10 I'd actually love to give you a hug

  • @sabz3008 - I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic but thanks anyway, whether you are or not. A hug is a hug no matter what context it's given and we all need one now and then. I hope your reasons for listening to this song are happier ones than those which cut me to the core whenever I hear it now. And, if so, so they should be - it's a beautiful song. Take care.

  • @mistertube10 Not sarcastic at all...I feel for you big time...Unfortunately, no I'm not listening to this for a happier reason. I hope you find it in yourself to love yourself. I think your story is the saddest I've read in a long long time.

  • I love this version. Its beautiful. <3

  • no how u feel sorry that happend 2 u im thelma smiths man n wathed her walk away 2 night left me n i miss her so much.... n no u didnt deserve that or me lets jus forget them n get on with our lives n b strong n wish u a good life forget about her b strong wish u nothn but happiness have a good life n again wish u luck......

  • The only woman i have ever truly loved left in the rain and never looked back ... 30th November 2002 at 8:10pm .. I miss her every day.. I love you now and always xxxxxx

  • who wrote this beautiful sad song, Dolly or Randy van Warmer or somebody else..? thanks..

  • LONG LIFE DOLLY

  • The First Lady of Country with the First Lady of Bluegrass and Dan Tyminski, it don't get any better than that

  • Nice to see an old classmate of mine able to scrape a living together and sing with Dolly for this song. ;-) You made 7th grade a nightmare for me, Alison, but glad to see that you were able to make a career out of your singing!

  • @Jaci1971 you went to school with her AND she was a bully? sucky!!!!

  • @loriarteaga Takes all kinds....what can ya do, but to become a bit more resilient and when she's famous, tell the world what a stupid bitch she is? Oh yeah, did I mention that she's dumber than a box of rocks? She's lucky she had that voice, because otherwise, she would have been SCREWED in life.

  • God Bless You, Dolly!

  • beautifull song

  • the song is amazing and Dolly did a beautiful version, but the original by Randy Van Warmer is much more heartfelt.

  • My wife of 46 years died 6months ago, this song is what I feel. I miss her so much.

  • @kalbodaddy1 that's so sad, i can't imagine the pain of losing someone after 46yrs. One day you'll meet her again my friend. She'll be waiting for you. I think that about my Dad

  • @kalbodaddy1 but she is with you when you cry,you must fell her..close your eyes and imagine her into your arms...people never go away from their family..

  • We had this Song played at my Mother's Funeral. I love it. Yes, Dolly Parton and this Song are BeauTiFuL. (My Mother was BeauTiFuL)..

  • OMG what do i love this girl and her songs.

    Bert from Belgium

  • like like :D so spechial..thanks

  • like like :D

  • beautiful song!

  • I cannot find this song on itunes. Anyone know what CD this song would be on?

  • That's the begining of me loving Dolly.

    Beautiful song! Love from Russia!

  • i JUST LOVE THIS SONG <3

  • There are times when you get "Left" behind...for good reasons as well as sad/bad reasons,(as the song say's "Only God knows")

  • If you just look at this woman, you'd almost compare her with lady gaga...... But the sensitivity and the talent Dolly Parton puts into the song, both playing instruments, makes the difference between beauty and nasty.

  • wow , im stunned now , guitar , wawaa , penny whistle , banjo , vocals , nails , harmonica , mountain dulcimer , lap harp and WHO knows what else ?

  • This song is for you, Mom. Most people have no idea what it's like to see your mother walk away from you at such a young age. It's almost been 7 years since I've seen you. I just found out you did it because of meth. I hope every year on my birthday, you just sit there and cry. Because I didn't deserve what you did to me.

  • @dominguez7826 NO child deserves that

  • @Ethel655 I agree. It's sad what drugs can do.

  • @dominguez7826 my mother left when i was 8. i am now 55!! i know how hard it is but it will make you stronger eventually (and a better parent) don't give up hope. there are others who care about you

  • @dominguez7826 I had to sign in to say, some decisions are hard to make, and the decision to walk away is not failing, it's giving hope..xox

  • @dominguez7826 I'm not going to put a thumbs up to your status, because I find it very dis-heartening and sad...But I feel for you...

  • Comment removed

  • @dominguez7826 ur right know deserves thees right to have their parents leave them. my cousin's mom did. shes living with her mom now but still she left without her didnt say a word. i feel srry for u. for ur sake i hope she rgets for the rest of her life

  • @dominguez7826 You deserved so much better! I am so sorry for your mother abandoning you. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive her at some point. It won't be easy. The best legacy you can leave is to love your children and treat them as though they are the most valuable posession on earth...they are! All the best!

  • @dominguez7826 Hey You! your mom is your mom and she may have messed up in Life , But I am sure she thinks of you often . You only have one mom forgive and love her and you will be amazed of the miracles the Lord JESUS will give you and if you read the bible putting down your mom and dad is a big no !no!

  • @TheMarilyncurry Parents must not be loved or be forgiven everything just because a book says so. They must earn respect and love from their children in the same way the child does.

    Only then can there be mutual understanding and love.

    Forcing a child to take abuse from parents only because it is made afraid of hell is child abuse.

    Oh... And go stick your jesus ... Well you know where.

  • @Smertopia  You've got some DEEP emotional problems don't you???

  • had this played at my moms wake as she passed away 2 days b4 i should have got married

  • dolly has a sweet, pretty voice that flutters sometimes. is that alison krauss? i don't really care for her. her voice is monotone and has no personality.

  • Muy linda version del viejo tema de Randy Vanwarmer. Salu2 desde Argentina...

  • linda música!

  • Dad there are days I look at the door and expect you and mom to walk thru it. I know that I have you physically but what wrenches my heart is there are days you can't remember where you are. I so miss our conversations, our family juants. I miss my best friend! I heard this song the other day and I just had to pull over. I love you daddy, the kids' love you and miss you. I know where you are you can recieve the right care. "ciss"

  • one of the more sadder songs ive heard ever

  • PowPow2001 if he left you is because you deserve better. Love yourself more and go on with your life. :))

  • This goes for my sister who killed herself when I was 18 and now to the man who has left me after 10 years of marriage. I was there for him through multiple deployments and schools. He feels good about himself though. I love him enough still to wish nothing but the best for him.

  • This is an amazing performance. I absolutely love Dolly Parton. Such a talent, and a sweetheart.

    Please take out out those implants though, girl. You're beautiful without needing those or the make up and big hair :)

  • @yrbabuena Hate to tell you but she has actually had breast reduction surgery. Those are au natural.

  • @yrbabuena ACTUALLY THOSE ARE HER NATURAL BREAST

  • This is mint, to be honest, not often someone nails such a unique song so well.

  • Thumbs Up If You're Listening To This And You're Under The Age Of 23 (Y)

  • @MegaLammo is there anything special about 23 year olds listening to country music?

  • @guruuswa I understand what she means. This is an old song, so some people under 23 may not have been exposed to it. It's a good song for all ages. :)

  • @MegaLammo im 26, but ive been listening to Dolly since i came to the world. My dad has good choice of music ;)

  • @MegaLammo 25 count?

  • @MegaLammo I'm 17 (Y) XD

  • This is a great song and a great performance from a iconic performer.

  • It wasn't my mom that left me,it was my sister that was taken from me just when I needed her the most,I was 6yr's old and she was 16yr's,it has been 37yr's now and I still miss her every day,and I still ask the ? why.But I know that God had his reason's I just wish that he could have explained them to my heart. Because there have been hundreds of times throughout my life that I know in my heart that only she could have and would have been able to help me. Miss you Sis so very much.

  • dit lied breng zoveel gevoel naar boven naar naar de liefde van mijn leven die ik kwijdt ben en die ik mis en altijd in men hart draag

  • Allison Krause and Dolly make a good team

  • my mom left us when i was 4, but i thank her in every way i can coz she gave me the life, the life that i am enjoying now and it can also make others to enjoy and fulfil their lives, what;s the point to hate but the pain was that she left us

  • I miss you  :(

  • I absolutely love MediaOutletOnline for getting fffreeee tuunes like this one. You should try and find it using Yahoo.

  • long live dolly

  • Had to do the same thing to a friend ; aint easy I can tell you!

  • This video is authorized by the catholic church

  • i have 23 years and the only person what i love in all my life and always i will love this person a still i will die is my mother , but this song and dolly voice make me feel like i was left by my GF , i love the song because give me a feeling (how is to love and feel pain in the same time) what a still now no one give me this kind of feeling

  • Dolly at her best

  • as i grew up Dolly Parton was part of my life ... now at aged 41 I still love this music as it touches the soul .... thank you for the music

  • RIP.Randy Van Warmner

  • This song was written by a kid named Randy Vanwarmer who died of leukemia.

  • Hi Dolly. my name is Gregory, i want to say that this is well heck this is my favorite of all your anthums, Sometimes i remind myself that a good man, is stil a good man regardless of all his flaws... Mr G.Freeman

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!

  • I'd never heard this one before, even though i've been a massive dolly parton fan for years.. it shocked me, especially since it's amazing. Her songs should be so much better known.

  • I can't wait till she comes to Brisbane!

  • Tis sad,Tis sad, Tis sad but true.Take care ADonovan43

  • is that Alison Krauss singing in the background???

  • Good song, but it should not have been the lead single off this CD back in 1996.

  • thanx biggie4steph i am so much happier now without my husband and even though my dad has passed i know he is still watching over me.

  • banditsmiffy i feel really sorry for you what your husband did to you was really bad i hope ur ok and your a lot happyer now..

  • banditsmiffy i feel really sorry for you what your husband did to was really bad i hope ur ok and your a lot happyer now..

  • that makes me chokes me upinside

  • tihs song reminds me of the time my dad died. i had just found out my husband was cheating on me but i gave him a second just and just after my dad died i called him to tell him what happend and he didn't really care so i left him and followed my dear dads wishes and moved on with life without the man that was meant to love but but clearly didn't.

  • What more does one want then Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss ?

  • You know you are really alone when your kids are grown and have moved out of your house.Then comes the day when your wife tells you she needs her space and moves out.then your 22 year old cat dies,but the worst thing of all is when you have a heart to heart talk with your best friend your dog and you find out she is a Republican.Take care ADonovan43

  • @ADonovan43 I could take all the except the talk with the dog. That would put me under. My condolences.

  • 24 dislikes are you freaking kidding me do you have ears???

  • Remember this man ...Randy VanWarmer

  • Dolly Parton is a brilliant songwriter in her own right but Randy Vanwarmer deserves a few more hits on Youtube for his own original version, as he wrote this song, which was based on the loss of his girlfriend, who walked out on him. He had an unfotunate ending. Sad but beautiful and probably means a lot of diferrent things to a lot of different people.

  • @Maxshard I can relate to this song.

  • Excellent.

  • all my heart breaks is reflected in this song noi matter who sings it. it sucks just too see some one tell u goodbye just when things are going ok and good and getting better and it seems no matter where i am at or going through this song keeps ringing in my mind and a day does not go by just thinking y and yet no one to respond to or do things for any more it sucks.

  • all my heart breaks is reflected in this song noi matter who sings it. it sucks just too see some one tell u goodbye just when things are going ok and good and getting better and it seems no matter where i am at or going through this song keeps ringing in my mind and a day does not go by just thinking y and yet no one to respond to or do things for any more it sucks

  • Dolly sets the standard that most other female singers only dream to achieve. A true icon. In addition, this song would bring a tear to a glass eye.

  • To Dave K and friends this one is for you.

  • Yep we all need someone. Now I have no one, but this is such a beautiful song. I sent it to some of those who used me and when they got what they wanted from me, they left me just when I needed them the most. I hope they got the message, but I don't think they ever will. All I can say is I am tired of trying. However: I can still dream, and they can't take that away.

  • Each time I listen to this song my day is filled with tears in remembrance of my two cherished and loved friends(Barr..OGB Utobo and Chukwudi Aguwamba)who died on the same deadly Enugu Abakaliki exp way 2007/2008 in an auto crash.at the age of 28 both of them just just after serving Nigeria(NYSC).....Barr OGB and Bro Chuks I really missed you guys because I realized that i need you guys now more than I needed you b4 and no were to find comfort.....

  • fantastic both as a singer and an icon to dream of !

  • So Beautiful!!!!

  • sami anglicy tu!

  • just when i need him most to be there for me, when my father died, he started cheating.

  • i just love this song
