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