Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly Parton
B
BBack through the years
BI go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of Ebmy youth
I Brecall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to Ebuse
There were Brags of many colors
BEvery piece was small
BAnd I didn't have a coat
And it was Fway down in the fall
Momma Bsewed the rags together
Sewin Ebevery piece with love
She made my Bcoat of many colors
That FI was so Bproud of
BAs she sewed, she told a story
BFrom the bible, she had read
BAbout a coat of many colors
Joseph Fwore and then she said
PerBhaps this coat will bring you
Good Ebluck and happiness
And I just Bcouldn't wait to wear it
And momma Fblessed it with a Bkiss
My Ebcoat of many colors
That my Bmomma made for me
EbMade only from rags
But I Bwore it so Fproudly
BAlthough we had no money
Well I was Ebrich as I could be
In my Bcoat of many colors
My Fmomma made for BmeG
So with Cpatches on my britches
and Choles in both my shoes
CIn my coat of many colors
I Ghurried off to school
Just to Cfind the others laughing
And Fmaking fun of me
in my Ccoat of many colors
My Gmomma made for Cme
And Goh I Ccouldn't understand it
For CI felt I was rich
CAnd I told them of the love
My momma Gsewed in every stitch
And I Ctold em all the story
Momma Ftold me while she sewed
And how my Ccoat of many colors
Was worth Gmore than all Ctheir clothes
But they Fdidn't understand it
And I Ctried to make them see
That Fone is only poor
Only Cif they choose to Gbe
Now I Cknow we had no money
But I was Frich as I could be
In my Ccoat of many colors
My Gmomma made for Fme
Made just Cfor me
