Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics: Back through the years I go wanderin' 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 But every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it 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 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 Oh, I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches And 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 And 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
