Back through the years |
| [00:08.08] |
I go wonderin once again |
| [00:11.81] |
Back to the seasons of my youth |
| [00:16.36] |
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us |
| [00:22.27] |
And how my momma put the rags to use |
| [00:27.50] |
There were rags of many colors |
| [00:31.17] |
Every piece was small |
| [00:33.70] |
And I didnt have a coat |
| [00:36.05] |
And it was way down in the fall |
| [00:39.24] |
Momma sewed the rags together |
| [00:42.06] |
Sewin every piece with love |
| [00:45.07] |
She made my coat of many colors |
| [00:47.98] |
That I was so proud of |
| [00:51.85] |
As she sewed she told a story |
| [00:54.63] |
From the bible she had read |
| [00:57.35] |
About a coat of many colors |
| [01:00.21] |
Joseph wore and then she said |
| [01:03.52] |
Perhaps this coat will bring you |
| [01:05.97] |
Good luck and happiness |
| [01:08.65] |
And I just couldnt wait to wear it |
| [01:11.56] |
And momma blessed it with a kiss |
| [01:16.00] |
My coat of many colors |
| [01:18.51] |
That my momma made for me |
| [01:21.78] |
Made only from rags |
| [01:24.44] |
But I wore it so proudly |
| [01:28.59] |
Although we had no money |
| [01:31.40] |
I was rich as I could be |
| [01:34.09] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:37.29] |
My momma made for me |
| [01:40.07] |
|
| [01:43.75] |
So with patches on my britches |
| [01:47.12] |
Holes in both my shoes |
| [01:49.50] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:52.48] |
I hurried off to school |
| [01:55.15] |
Just to find the others laughing |
| [01:58.02] |
And making fun of me |
| [02:00.77] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:03.80] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:07.36] |
And oh I couldnt understand it |
| [02:10.80] |
For I felt I was rich |
| [02:13.26] |
And I told them of the love |
| [02:15.75] |
My momma sewed in every stitch |
| [02:18.75] |
And I told em all the story |
| [02:21.77] |
Momma told me while she sewed |
| [02:24.14] |
And how my coat of many colors |
| [02:27.24] |
Was worth more than all their clothes |
| [02:31.35] |
But they didnt understand it |
| [02:34.11] |
And I tried to make them see |
| [02:37.34] |
That one is only poor |
| [02:39.89] |
Only if they choose to be |
| [02:44.01] |
Now I know we had no money |
| [02:46.66] |
But I was rich as I could be |
| [02:49.40] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:52.60] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:56.49] |
Made just for me |
| [02:58.74] |
