Coat of Many Colours

Back through the years, I go wonderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags, someone gave to us And how my momma put those rags to use There were rags of many colours, some of them was small I didn't have a coat, and it was way down in the fall Momma sewed the rags together, sewin' every piece with love She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of As she sewed she told a story, from the bible, she had read About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and then she said Perhaps this coat will bring you, good luck and happiness I just couldn't wait to wear it, my momma blessed it with a kiss That coat of many colours, that my momma made for me Made only from rags, and I wore it so proudly Although we had no money, I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, that my momma made for me So with patches on my britches, with holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school Just to find the others laughing, making fun of me In my coat of many colours, that my momma made for me That coat of many colours, that my momma made for me Made only from rags, and I wore it so proudly Although we had no money, I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, that my momma made for me, made for me
