As she sewed she the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and she said Perhaps this coat will bring you, much and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma it with a kiss
My coat of many colours that mamma 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 on my breaches and holes in both my shoes In my coat of colours, I hurried off to school Just to find the others and makin' fun of me In my of many colours, my mamma made for me
Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was And I them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch And I told them all the story, mamma told me she sewed And how my of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes
They didn't under it and I tried to make them see That one is only poor if they choose to be Now I know we have no money, but I'm as 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
