Coat of Many Colors |
| 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 fog |
| 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 |
| 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 |
