I noticed this guy back there with a set of binoculars.
People always show up at my shows with those things.
I wonder if they do that at Dolly's shows.
Guess they don't need them at Dolly's shows.
You know, last year on my birthday, Dolly said I could come out to Las Vegas
and [Ab] celebrate my birthday and watch her do her show
in one of those big fancy showrooms out there.
I forget which one of those big hotels [N] it was, but I went out there
and I was sitting out in the audience and I was all dressed up.
She got right up on stage in front of everybody and told them
that we used to pee in the bed when we was little.
Well, you know how she is.
[B] She'll say anything.
Then she pointed me out back there and had them put the spotlight on me
and she said, didn't we, Stella?
[N]
Of course, I had to go along with it because it was the truth
and we already looked stupid, so [Eb] I said
But she neglected to tell everybody that we not only wet the bed,
but we used to fight over who peed the biggest circle.
[N]
Some of y'all know what I'm talking about, [B] don't you?
Too much Kool-Aid.
[Eb]
Another gun smoke fan.
And everywhere I go, people always request one or two of Dolly's songs
and actually they request all they can.
And I'm real proud of the fact that Dolly is one of the finest songwriters
in the world, I think.
[B] And I decided I'd put one of her songs in my show
that is a true story song and it is one of my favorites.
And when we was little, we used to also write songs
and we used to fight over who wrote the best line.
And I'll have to admit, Dolly always wrote the best line.
But I always peed the biggest circle.
[N]
Thank you.
Boy, that's a fancy guitar, isn't it?
Thanks to the Washburn Company.
[G] Ooh, this dress is short.
[Eb]
Bill, I'm gonna have to sit this way, okay?
[G] Are you comfortable?
Back through the years
I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons [C] of my youth
I [G] recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the [C] rags to use
[G] There were rags of many colors
And every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
It [D] was a way down in the fall
[G] Mama sewed the rags together
[C] Sewing every piece with love
She made [G] my coat of many colors
[D] I [G] was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the Bible that she had read
About a coat of many colors
[D] Joseph wore and then she said
[G] Perhaps this coat will bring you
[C] Good luck and happiness
And [G] I just couldn't wait to wear it
[D] And Mama blessed it [G] with gifts
My [C] coat of many colors
That [G] my mama made for me
[C] Made only from rags
[G] But I wore it so [D] proudly
Now [G] I know we had no money
[C] But I was rich as I could be
And [G] my coat of many colors
[D] Mama [E] made [C] for me
Made [G] just for me
Thank [Eb] [Ab] [E] you
