Coat of many Colours
Back thought the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of many 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's was way down in the fall
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 couldnt wait to wear it
And my momma blesses it with a kiss
Chorus :
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
My coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
And oh i couldnt understand it
For i felt i was rich
And i told them all the story
Momma told me while
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And i tired 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
