Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly Parton
G
GBack through the years
GI go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of Cmy youth
I Grecall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to Cuse
There were Grags of many colors
GEvery piece was small
GAnd I didn't have a coat
And it was Dway down in the fall
Momma Gsewed the rags together
Sewin Cevery piece with love
She made my Gcoat of many colors
That DI was so Gproud of
GAs she sewed, she told a story
GFrom the bible, she had read
GAbout a coat of many colors
Joseph Dwore and then she said
PerGhaps this coat will bring you
Good Cluck and happiness
And I just Gcouldn't wait to wear it
And momma Dblessed it with a Gkiss
My Ccoat of many colors
That my Gmomma made for me
CMade only from rags
But I Gwore it so Dproudly
GAlthough we had no money
Well I was Crich as I could be
In my Gcoat of many colors
My Dmomma made for GmeE
So with Apatches on my britches
and Aholes in both my shoes
AIn my coat of many colors
I Ehurried off to school
Just to Afind the others laughing
And Dmaking fun of me
in my Acoat of many colors
My Emomma made for Ame
And Eoh I Acouldn't understand it
For AI felt I was rich
AAnd I told them of the love
My momma Esewed in every stitch
And I Atold em all the story
Momma Dtold me while she sewed
And how my Acoat of many colors
Was worth Emore than all Atheir clothes
But they Ddidn't understand it
And I Atried to make them see
That Done is only poor
Only Aif they choose to Ebe
Now I Aknow we had no money
But I was Drich as I could be
In my Acoat of many colors
My Emomma made for Dme
Made just Afor me
