Once upon a christmas dolly parton and kenny rogers

Q: What song did Dolly Parton write for Kenny Rogers?

The Stranger, Kenny Rogers album in October 1984. Though that project didnt include vocals from his singing partner, Rogers still had a touch of Dolly on the record: the powerful story song The Stranger, written by Parton.

Q: How long did Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton date?

Then Parton chimed in, saying, We were almost like brother and sister, and it would almost be like incest. In a later interview with Today, Rogers said that while they didnt have an affair, they just flirted together for 30 years. He explained that it was more fun!

[Verse 1]
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

[Verse 2]
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born His palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swaddling cloth, a halo was His crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

[Chorus]
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ

[Verse 3]
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

[Outro]
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
