[00:15.880]Back through the years
[00:17.800]I go wonderin' once again
[00:21.770]Back to the seasons of youthmy
[00:26.050]I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
[00:32.170]And how my momma put the rags to use
[00:37.500]There were rags of many colors
[00:41.030]Every piece was small
[00:43.460]And I didn't have a coat
[00:45.850]And it was way down in the fog
[00:48.960]Momma sewed the rags together
[00:52.000]Sewing every piece with love
[00:54.370]She made my coat of many colors
[00:57.330]
[00:57.970]That I was so proud of
[01:01.970]As she sewed, she told a story
[01:04.710]From the bible, she had read
[01:07.370]About a coat of many colors
[01:10.300]Joseph wore and then she said
[01:13.240]Perhaps this coat will bring you
[01:16.060]Good luck and happiness
[01:18.500]And I just couldn't wait to wear it
[01:21.310]And momma blessed it with a kiss
[01:26.090]My coat of many colors
[01:28.540]That my momma made for me
[01:31.900]Made only from rags
[01:34.340]But I wore it so proudly
[01:38.650]Although we had no money
[01:41.420]I was rich as I could be
[01:44.100]In my coat of many colors
[01:47.130]My momma made for me
[01:53.700]So with patches on my britches
[01:57.160]Holes in both my shoes
[01:59.720]In my coat of many colors
[02:02.600]I hurried off to school
[02:05.100]Just to find the others laughing
[02:07.900]And making fun of me
[02:10.520]In my coat of many colors
[02:13.810]My momma made for me
[02:17.370]And oh I couldn't understand it
[02:20.630]For I felt I was rich
[02:23.310]And I told them of the love
[02:25.500]My momma sewed in every stitch
[02:28.980]And I told 'em all the story
[02:31.590]Momma told me while she sewed
[02:33.980]And how my coat of many colors
[02:37.290]Was worth more than all their clothes
[02:41.470]But they didn't understand it
[02:43.970]And I tried to make them see
[02:47.140]That one is only poor
[02:49.440]
[02:50.000]Only if they choose to be
[02:54.060]Now I know we had no money
[02:56.830]But I was rich as I could be
[02:59.390]In my coat of many colors
[03:02.420]My momma made for me
[03:06.310]Made just for me
