SONG

coat of many colours by Dolly Parton

Back through the yearsI go wonderin once again

Back to the seasons of my youth

I recall a box of rags that someone gave us

And how my momma put the rags to use

There were rags of many colors

Every piece was small

And I didnt have a coat

And it was way down in the fall

Momma sewed the rags together

Sewin every piece with love

She made my coat of many colors

That I was so proud of

As she sewed, she told a storyFrom the bible, she had read

About a coat of many colorsJoseph wore and then she said

Perhaps this coat will bring youGood luck and happiness

And I just couldnt wait to wear it

And momma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colorsThat my momma made for me

Made only from rags

But I wore it so proudly

Although we had no moneyI was rich as I could be

In my coat of many colorsMy momma made for me

So with patches on my britches

Holes in both my shoes

In my coat of many colors

I hurried off to school

Just to find the others laughingAnd making fun of me

In my coat of many colorsMy momma made for me

And oh I couldnt understand it

For I felt I was rich

And I told them of the love

My momma sewed in every stitch

And I told em all the storyMomma told me while she sewed

And how my coat of many colorsWas worth more than all their clothes

But they didnt understand itAnd I tried to make them see

That one is only poorOnly if they choose to be

Now I know we had no money

But I was rich as I could be

In my coat of many colors

My momma made for me

Made just for me
