我特别喜欢这类乡村的,这里有一首我喜欢的,是乡村歌手Dolly Parton 原唱,是她童年真实的经历。15年拍了同名电影Coat Of Many Colors。
不过我个人偏爱另一个歌手唱的,改了以后更current 一点。
这首歌让我想起我自己小时候,我的衣服总是哥哥穿完姐姐穿,最后才轮到我穿,学校里的男孩子怎么嘲笑我。
后来2-3年级以后,妈妈开始做衣服去卖,她算是很早的个体户了,妈妈很聪明,只要她看见过,即便只是挂在百货大楼,摸都没摸过,她都能做出一模一样的,我的衣服就成了学校里最漂亮的。
不论贫富,有一个好妈妈,孩子就是幸福的。。
"Coat Of Many Colors"
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
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
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
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them 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
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
