This song is absolutely beautiful. It's about her life growing up. They were poor and didn't have much, but she recalls her mom making her a coat made from rags that were given to her by someone. It's very touching and heartwarming.

I particularly like the older version (70's?) when she's playing the guitar sitting down. True story and I know you prefer live
beautiful song...one of her best!

This is Dolly in 1984 (?). Note: Dolly writes 99% of her songs. She considers them her "Children," which is why Elvis never recorded "I Will Always Love You" as Colonel Parker insisted that Dolly sell part of the publishing rights to Elvis and she refused, saying her songs are "my children and you wouldn't sell your children, would you?"
