As she she told the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colours, Joseph and they she said Perhaps this coat bring you, much love and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it a kiss
My coat of colours that mamma made for me Made only rags, but I it so proudly we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be In my coat of colours, my mamma made for me
So with on my breaches and holes 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 understand it, for I felt I was rich And I told them of the love my sewed in ever stitch And I told them all the story, told 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 tried to them see That one is only poor only if choose to be Now I know we no money, but I'm as rich as I could be In my of many colours, my mamma made for me In my coat of many colours, my just made for me
