Hello everyone, how are you feeling today?
It's a good time to participate in this week's Vibes Web3 Music Competition, and this week I will be doing a post on Dolly Parton's song titled, Coat of Many Colours. The song was released in the early 1970's and it is still a hit song till now.
I heard the song when I was little, and I really loved singing it because it is embedded with words of wisdom to enlighten the listener.
This is the lyrics of the song:
Back through 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 mama put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
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
And mama blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my mama made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
Well, I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My mama made for me
So with patches on my britches
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And are making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My mama made for me
And oh, I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told 'em of the love
My mama sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Mama told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My mama made for me
Made just for me. Link
