	Lyrics BELLE'S FUR COAT SHE HAD HIM IN THE SPRINGTIME, ON A WET KENTUCKY MORN JUST AROUND THE SUNRISE BELLE'S BABY BOY WAS BORN SOON THAT LITTLE CHEROKEE WAS TRAMPLING DOWN THE CORN AND AS SHE WATCHED HIM GROWING, BELLE'S WIZENED HEART WAS TORN BELLE KNEW THIS ONE WAS SPECIAL..DIFFERENT FROM THE REST AND WITH A LITTLE MUSIC SHE KNEW HOW TO REACH HIM BEST WHEN HE STARTED PUTTING HIS OWN MUSIC TO THE TEST SHE KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE TOO LONG TIL HE BEGAN HIS QUEST (CHORUS) SHE WAITED IN THAT CABIN IN THE DEEP KENTUCKY HILLS AND SOMEHOW IN MY MIND I CAN SEE HER WAITING STILL THERE WAS NO EARTHLY TREASURE THAT EVER COULD REPLACE BEING WITH THAT BOY OF HERS AND THE SIGHT OF HIS SWEET FACE. ROCKING ON THE FRONT PORCH TIL THE SUN NO LONGER GLOWED EVERY DAY BELLE HOPED SHE'D SEE HIM A-COMING UP THE ROAD SHE ALWAYS KEPT A POT OF SOMETHING WARM, IN CASE HE SHOWED AND HE RETURNED THE FAVOR WITH A SHINY BLACK FUR COAT BELLE NEVER DRESSED UP FANCY, IT WAS WARMTH SHE CARED ABOUT BUT SHE WAS PROUD TO WEAR HER COAT TO CHURCH, AND THERE'S NO DOUBT SHE EVEN WORE IT DOING CHORES..THROUGH RAINY DAYS AND DROUGHT BUT BEING EVER PRACTICAL, SHE WORE IT INSIDE-OUT (CHORUS) SHE WORE IT IN THAT CABIN IN THE DEEP KENTUCKY HILLS AND WHEN THEY LAID HER DOWN TO REST, THEY SAY SHE WORE IT STILL AND THERE'S NO EARTHLY TREASURE THAT EVER COULD REPLACE LOOKING AT HER PHOTOGRAPH AND SEEING MY OWN FACE... SHE WORE IT IN THAT CABIN IN THE DEEP KENTUCKY HILLS AND WHEN THEY LAID HER DOWN TO REST, THEY SAY SHE WORE IT STILL AND SOMEDAY DAD AND I MIGHT SEE HER IN THAT COAT AGAIN AND KNOWING HER, SHE'LL PROBABLY WEAR HER HALO OUTSIDE-IN...
