"Joshua" was a 1970 song, written and recorded by Dolly Parton, significant for being the singer's first single to reach #1 on the US country charts. Telling the story of a young girl who meets and falls in love with a lonely hobo, the song drew on many Appalachian references from Parton's youth, which she would revisit throughout her career, and featured a storyline she would later reuse in her 1976 composition Applejack. The single was released in late 1970, and reached #1 on the Billboard country charts in February 1971.
