Coat of Many Colors (Live) 歌詞
Coat of Many Colors Live) - Emmylou Harris
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mamma put those rags to use
There were rags of many colours every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
It was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together
She sewed ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours
I was so proud of
As she sewed she told the story
From the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear
It as mamma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made from only rags but I wore it so proudly
Though we didn't have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours
My mamma made for me
So with patches on will breaches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours well
I started home to school
Just to find the children laughing makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours
My mamma made for me
Now I didn't understand
For I felt as I was rich
And I told them of the love
My mamma sewed in ever stitch
I told about the story
Mamma told me while she sewed
And my coat of many colours
Was worth more than all their clothes
They didn't understand it and
I tried to make them see
One is only poor only if you choose to be
Though we didn't have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours
My mamma made for me
In my coat of many colours
My mamma made just for me
