| [00:06.63] |
Back through the years |
| [00:07.44] |
I go wonderin' once again |
| [00:12.26] |
Back to the seasons of my youth |
| [00:16.45] |
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us |
| [00:21.89] |
And how my momma put the rags to use |
| [00:27.39] |
There were rags of many colors |
| [00:30.33] |
Every piece was small |
| [00:33.46] |
And i didn't have a coat |
| [00:36.21] |
And it was way down in the fall |
| [00:39.08] |
Momma sewed the rags together |
| [00:41.84] |
Sewin' every piece with love |
| [00:44.46] |
She made my coat of many colors |
| [00:47.03] |
That i was so proud of |
| [00:51.84] |
As she sewed she told a story |
| [00:54.47] |
From the bible she had read |
| [00:57.35] |
About a coat of many colors |
| [01:00.23] |
Joseph wore and then she said |
| [01:03.17] |
Perhaps this coat will bring you |
| [01:05.98] |
Good luck and happiness |
| [01:06.51] |
And i just couldn't wait to wear it |
| [01:11.95] |
And momma blessed it with a kiss |
| [01:14.26] |
Chorus |
| [01:14.64] |
My coat of many colors |
| [01:17.08] |
That my momma made for me |
| [01:21.79] |
Made only from rags |
| [01:23.23] |
But i wore it so proudly |
| [01:28.67] |
Although we had no money |
| [01:32.68] |
I was rich as i could be |
| [01:34.42] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:37.30] |
My momma made for me |
| [01:43.56] |
So with patches on my britches |
| [01:46.99] |
Holes in both my shoes |
| [01:49.81] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:52.37] |
I hurried off to school |
| [02:03.16] |
And making fun of me |
| [02:04.17] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:05.17] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:07.23] |
And oh i couldn't understand it |
| [02:10.73] |
For i felt i was rich |
| [02:13.19] |
And i told them of the love |
| [02:15.69] |
My momma sewed in every stitch |
| [02:18.63] |
And i told 'em all the story |
| [02:21.57] |
Momma told me while she sewed |
| [02:24.76] |
And how my coat of many colors |
| [02:27.26] |
Was worth more than all their clothes |
| [02:31.14] |
But they didn't understand it |
| [02:32.95] |
And i tried to make them see |
| [02:35.13] |
That one is only poor |
| [02:38.83] |
Only if they choose to be |
| [02:42.76] |
Now i know we had no money |
| [02:47.02] |
But i was rich as i could be |
| [02:49.71] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:52.40] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:55.96] |
Made just for me |
