Lyrics

[Intro-Verse] Back through the years I go wandering 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 [Verse 1] There were rags of many colors Every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fog Mama sewed the rags together Sewing every piece with love She made my coat of many colors That I was so proud of [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My mama made for me [Verse 4] 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 mama made for me [Verse 5] And oh I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich And I told them of the love My mama sewed in every stitch And I told them all the story Mama told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colors Was worth more than all their clothes [Verse 6] 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
