Coat Of Many Colours |
Back through the years I go wondering once again |
Back to the seasons of my youth |
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my mamma put these rags to use |
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small |
And I didn’t have a coat and it was way down in the fall |
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love |
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read |
About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said |
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness |
And I just couldn’t wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss |
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly |
Although we had no money. |
oh I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes |
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school |
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me Oh, I couldn’t understand it, for I felt I was rich |
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch |
And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed |
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes |
They didn’t under stand it and I tried to make them see |
That one is only poor only if they choose to be Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me In my coat of many colours, my mamma |
just made for me |
