Corn Song
Did you know that Dolly was already coming up with song lyrics before she could even write? Back then, her mother helped her put them down in writing. She was full to brimming with lyrics even when she was a little girl. Her first song is named “Little Tiny Tasseltop.” Here is an excerpt from her adorable song: “Little tiny tasseltop, I love you an awful lot. Corn silk hair and big brown eyes, How you make me smile.”
