Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my mamma put these rags to use There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss My coat of many colours that mamma made for me Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see That one is only poor only if they choose to be Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me |

Early one morning
As the sun was rising I heard a voice in the walley below. Don't decieve me Don't you leave me How could you treat A poor girl so? Early one morning I saw her walking I heard a voice in the walley below. Don't decieve me Don't you leave me How could you treat A poor boy so? So I sit on yonder hill And I wonder if anyone Thinks of me still Why did you leave me? Why did you decieve me? How could you treat A poor girl so? If anyone thinks of me still Why did you leave me? |

A bold young farmer courted me
He stole my heart and my liberty He stole my heart without free goodwill And I must confess that I love him still I wish, I wish but it?s all in vain I wish I was a maid again But a maid again I never can be Since such a young fellow lies still by me There sits a bird in yonder tree Some say he?s blind and cannot see And I wish it was the same with me Before I took up with your company I wish my babe so tiny was born And smiling on his father?s knee And I poor girl was dead and gone With the green grass growing all over me Go dig my grave, dig long and deep Place a marble stone at my head and feet And on my heart put a snow white dove To let the world know that I died for love |

If I give my heart to you tonight,
Will you still be by my side. Or will you be gone, with the morning sun; Like a restless bird in fly. Take me in your arms, And let the love you see, Wash away your sorrows. Let the morning be ours too keep. And If I should tell you of a love that I had, Will you still be there for me. Or will you away to a faded love, Searching for freedoms game. Take me in your arms, And let the love you see, Wash away your sorrows. Let the morning be ours to keep. Take me in your arms, And let the love you see, Wash away your sorrows. Let the morning be ours to keep. If I give my heart to you tonight, Will you still be by my side. Or will you be gone, With the morning sun. Like a bird who yearns to fly. |

In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes crying in the rain When we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again Love is like a dying ember And only memories remain And through the ages I'll remember Blue eyes crying in the rain Someday soon we'll meet up yonder And we'll walk hand in hand again And through the ages I'll remember Blue eyes crying in the rain Blue eyes crying in the rain |

Is time my redeemer?
Loneliness my only friend? Just once in a lifetime Strangers share a common end And I like an arrow Straight for love I went again And you like tomorrow Never knowing where an when. Somewhere, somehow At sometime someone cared Maybe just for a moment Or maybe for a lifetime Are the threads that bind us together Falling loose or growing stronger? Look at it now, look at the picture Has it changed or is it still the same? Hear, hear, hear, hear... |
