Back through the years I go once again to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of that someone gave us And how my put these rags to use
There were rags of many colours, and piece was small And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love She made my of many colours, that I was so proud of
As she she told the story from the bible she had read a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said Perhaps this coat will bring you, 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 wore it so 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 coat of many colours, I off to school Just to find the others and makin' fun of me In my coat of colours, my mamma made for me
Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was And I told them of the love my sewed in ever stitch And I them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colours is worth more all of their clothes
didn't under stand it and I tried 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
