Coat Of Many Colors
In the style of
Lyrics
back
through the years
i go wanderin'
once again
back to the seasons
of my youth
i recall a box of rags
that someone gave us
and how my mama
put the rags to use
there were rags
of many colors
but every piece
was small
and i didn't have a coat
and it was way down
in the fall
mama 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 mama blessed it
with a kiss
my coat of
many colors
that my mama
made for me
made only from rags
but i wore it
so proudly
although
we had no money
well i was rich
as i could be
in my coat of
many colors
my mama made for me
so with patches
on my britches
and holes
in both my shoes
in my coat of
many colors
i hurried off
to school
just to find
the others laughin'
and makin' fun of me
in my coat of
many colors
my mama made for me
and oh i couldn't
understand it
for i felt i was rich
and i told 'em
of the love
my mama sewed
in every stitch
and i told 'em all
the story
mama 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 mama made for me
made just for me
