Hello.
Hello, Miss Dolly.
Thank you so much for having me.
Well, look at there.
They're standing up.
Sit down.
I ain't that special, but I do have my coat of many colors gift card for you today.
This is in honor of all your rhinestones.
And I just want to tell you how happy I am to be part of this show.
It just takes me back in time.
And here's a little song that takes me back even farther to my childhood.
It's a true story.
And I always think of my own mama when I sing this song.
So I always like to dedicate it to all the good mamas who's listening. _
Back through the years I go wandering once again. _
Back to the seasons [Eb] of my youth.
[Bb] And I recall a box of rags someone gave us.
And how my mama put the rags [Eb] to use.
There [Bb] were rags of many colors.
But every piece was small.
And I didn't have a coat.
It [F] was way down in the fall.
Mama [Bb] sewed the rags together.
[Eb] Sewing every piece with love, she made [Bb] my coat.
A coat of many colors [F] that I was so [Bb] proud of.
While mama sewed, she told a story from the Bible she had read.
About a coat of many colors, [F] told of war.
And then she said, [Bb] perhaps this coat will bring you [Eb] good luck and happiness.
And I [Bb] just couldn't wait to wear it.
And [F] mama blessed it [Bb] with a kiss.
[Eb] My coat of many colors that [Bb] my mama made for me.
[Eb] Made only from rags, [Bb] but I wore it [F] so proudly.
And [Bb] although we had no money, I [Eb] was rich as I could be.
In [Bb] my coat of many colors, [F] mama [Bb] made it for me.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] Sewed with patches on my breeches.
Big holes in both my shoes.
In my coat of many colors, [G] I hurried off to school.
[C] Just to find the others laughing [F] and making fun of me.
In [C] my coat of many colors [G] that mom had [C] made for me.
And oh, I couldn't understand that.
Because I felt I was rich.
And I told them of the love [G] mama sewed in every stitch.
I [C] even told them all that story that [F] mama told me.
While she sewed [C] and why my coat of many colors was [G] worth more than all [C] their clothes.
They [F] didn't understand it and [C] I tried to make them see.
[F] One is only poor only [C] if they [G] choose to be.
_ [C] It's true we had no money, but I [F] was rich as I could be.
In [C] my coat of many colors, [G] mama made [F] for me.
Because she made [C] it just for [F] me.
[C] _
