The theme root is indeed an amazing one, it takes us back to amazing memories, things that are almost long forgotten. In response to this amazing theme, I will be doing the song coat of many colours. Coat of many colours by Dolly Parton holds so many memories for me, it is a song that reminds me a lot about home and my childhood. It was my mother's favourite song and she played and sang it almost everyday. I got to sing it along side her at a very tender age.
For my performance this week, I will be doing an acapella version of the song coat of many colours. This is just me doing my own version of that amazing song and I hope you enjoy it.
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall the box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use
There where rags of many colours
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was a way down in a fall
Mama sewed the rags together
Sawing every piece with love
She made my coat of many colours
That I was so proud of
As she sew she told a story
From the Bible she have read
About the coat of many colours
Joseph worn and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Goodluck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And mama blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colours that my mama made for me
Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly
And though I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours
My mama made for me
