Since I mentioned this when I added "Mountain Angel" I thought I'd check and see if we had it...and we didn't. I DID find an unanswered lyrics request for it buried in another thread, so I'll link it later.

^^COAT OF MANY COLORS
(Dolly Parton)
As recorded by Dolly Parton on "Coat of Many Colors" (1971)

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, but 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.

CHORUS: 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, 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 laughin' and 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 them 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.

CHORUS: 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.
