| Lyrics: | 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
Chorus:
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
Made just for me |
