I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby
Dolly Parton · The Tour Collection [2008]
Dolly Porton & Porter Wagoner
I went strolling in the evening underneath the harvest moon
I was thinking about you
Then we met out in the moonlight the stars were shining in your eyes
But another was there too.
I don't believe you've met my baby he looked at me he looked at you
You wondered who I was talking to
I shook the hand of you stranger but I was shaking more inside
I was still wondering who
His arm was resting on my shoulder he smiled at you he smiled at me
His eyes were filled with victory.
--- Instrumental ---
He said my sister wants to marry you then it was oh so plain to see
I knew that you would marry me
I don't believe you've met my baby hmm hmm
I knew that you would marry me...
