Текст (слова) песни: Kenny Rogers - Coat of Many Colors
Back through the years I go wandering once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall the box of rags 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 away down in the fall Mama sewed the rags together So in every piece with luck 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 my mama blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors That my mama made for me Made only from rags That I wore it so proudly Although we had no money Well, I was rich as I could be 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 My mama made for me And no, I couldn`t understand it For I felt I was rich And I told them 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 "But one is only poor Only if he chooses to be." Now I know we had no money In my coat of many colors My mama made for me Made just for me
