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 |
