Coat Of Many Colors (2007 Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Dolly Parton[00:00:01]
Back through the years I go wondering once again[00:00:05]
Back to the seasons of my youth[00:00:12]
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us[00:00:17]
And how my mamma put these rags to use[00:00:24]
There were rags of many colors and every piece was small[00:00:29]
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall[00:00:35]
Mamma sewed the rags together sewing ever piece with love[00:00:42]
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of[00:00:48]
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read[00:00:56]
About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and they she said[00:01:02]
Perhaps this coat will bring you much love and happiness[00:01:09]
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and mamma blessed it with a kiss[00:01:15]
My coat of many colors that mamma made for me[00:01:23]
Made for me only rags but I wore it so proudly[00:01:29]
Although we had no money oh I was rich as I could be[00:01:37]
In my coat of many colors my mamma made for me[00:01:43]
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes[00:01:58]
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school[00:02:05]
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me[00:02:11]
In my coat of many colors my mamma made for me[00:02:17]
Oh I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich[00:02:24]
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch[00:02:31]
And I told them all the story mamma told me while she sewed[00:02:38]
And how my coat of many colors is worth more than all of their clothes[00:02:44]
They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see[00:02:51]
That one is only poor only if they choose to be[00:02:58]
Now I know we have no money but I'm as rich as I could be[00:03:05]
In my coat of many colors my mamma made for me[00:03:11]
In my coat of many colors my mamma made just for me[00:03:18]
