This week I have been watching a lot of Dolly Parton interviews, especially ones from the 1970s and 1980s.
I got to thinking how Dolly is a beacon of light, such a beautiful blonde bubbly personality with that sweet smokey mountain Tennesse accent and such talent as a musician and songwriter (imagine playing guitar with those long nails!?)
So yeah I thought I would use Dolly as my inspiration for this week's beacon of light theme and play you guys "Coat Of Many Colours"
"Coat of Many Colors" Song by Dolly Parton
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 momma 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 Momma 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 momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors That my momma 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 momma 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 making fun of me In my coat of many colors That I wore so proudly
Oh, I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich And I told 'em of the love My momma sewed in every stitch And I told 'em all the story Momma 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 I told them one is only poor Only if they choose to be For although we had no money I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My momma made for me
My coat of many colors That my momma 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 momma made for me
