The Best Dolly Parton Songs, Ranked by Fan Votes.
GoatWars fans rank I Will Always Love You the greatest of all time among Dolly Parton Songs, with a 75.7% Goatscore.
Chasing the crown: #2 Jolene (63.1%), #3 9 to 5 (60.0%).
You hear that opening guitar on “Jolene” and already have an opinion. But then “9 to 5” comes bouncing in, “I Will Always Love You” breaks your heart, and “Coat of Many Colors” reminds you Dolly could tell an entire life story in a few minutes. That’s before “Here You Come Again” or “Islands in the Stream” gets stuck in your head. Dolly gave us heartbreak, humor, working-woman swagger and songs that feel like somebody telling you a story across the kitchen table. Now pick them head-to-head and help crown the greatest Dolly Parton song.
