Dolly parton:caot of many colors

Dolly parton:caot of many colors by youngwizzy 2011/04/30 14:02
Back throug the years
I 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 caot
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin every piece with love
She made my caot of many colors
That i was so proud of
As she sewed,she told a story
From the bible she had read
About a caot of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this caot will bring you
Goodluck and hapiness
And i just couldnt wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss

Chorus:
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for
Made only from rags
But i wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as i could be
In my caot of many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my caot of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And makin fun of me
In my caot of many colors
My 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 stich
And i told them all the story
Momma told me while she sew
And how my caot of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didnt understand it
And i tried to make them see
That one is only poor Only if he choose to be
Now i know we had no money
But i was rich as i could be
In my caot of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

Chorus till fade
