As she sewed she told the story the bible she had read a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said Perhaps this coat bring you, much love and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma it with a kiss
My coat of many colours mamma made for me Made rags, but I wore it so proudly Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I be In my coat of many colours, my made for me
So with patches on my breaches and in both my shoes In my of many colours, I hurried off to school to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me In my coat of many colours, my made for me
Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was And I told of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch And I told them all the story, mamma me while she sewed 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 rich as I be In my coat of many colours, my made for me In my coat of many colours, my just made for me
