美國鄉村樂天后[桃莉芭頓]與[席維斯史特龍]的交集──電影插曲──[Tennesse Homesick Blues/田納西思鄉藍調]
New York City aint no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at you funny, they take it wrong
The greenest state in the land of the free
And the home of the Grand Ole Opry
Is calling me back to my Smoky Mountain home
I wish I had my old fishin pole
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite
Life aint as simple as it used to be
Just since the big apple took a bite out of me
And Lord, Im so Tennessee homesick that I could die
But I aint been home in I dont know when
If I had it all to do over again
Tonight Id sleep in my old feather bed
What I wouldnt give for a little bitty taste
Of Mamas homemade chocolate cake
Tennessee homesick blues is running through my head
Mama you can fluff my feather bed
Just as soon as I can Im gonna head
Back to the Tennessee hills and it better be soon
Daddy you can load the rifles up
Were gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck
And head up to Calhoun Country and catch us a coon
But I aint been home in I dont know when
If I had it all to do over again
Tonight Id sleep in my old feather bed
Eatin grits and gravy and country ham
Go to church on Sunday with dinner on the grounds
Tennessee homesick blues are runnin through my head
And I aint been home in I dont know when
If I had it all to do over again
Tonight Id sleep in my old feather bed
Good Lord, have mercy on a country girl
Tryin to make a living in a rhinestone world
Its hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world
With Tennessee homesick blues are runnin through my head
Ive got those Tennessee homesick blues runnin through my head
Tennessee homesick blues

1980年 美國鄉村樂波霸才女桃莉.芭頓(Dolly Parton)主演職場喜劇[9to 5]大賣 躍升影壇紅星
1982年主演另一部歌舞喜劇[The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas] 成為另一部叫好叫座電影
鞏固她票房巨星地位
1984年夏天 芭頓與席維斯史特龍(Sylvester Stallone)主演冒險喜劇[Rhinestone]
可惜評價票房皆失敗
桃莉也製作並主導電影原聲帶(席維斯史特龍也獻聲五曲)
芭頓卻視其為事業最佳作品之一
原聲帶首支單曲是[Tennesse Homesick Blues/田納西思鄉藍調]
由桃莉獨力譜寫製作 是首節奏輕快的鄉村流行曲
歌詞是對她生長故鄉的鄉間回憶
此曲登上美國鄉村榜冠軍 加拿大鄉村榜冠軍
儘管如此 但仍無法挽救[Rhinestone]原聲帶失敗的命運
專輯只登上美國鄉村榜#32 流行榜#135
是芭頓事業鼎盛期的商業失敗作之一
