Back Through the YearsI Go Wonderin' Once AgainBack to the
Seasons of My YouthI Recall a Box of Rags That Someone Gave
UsAnd How My Momma Put the Rags to UseThere Were Rags of Many
ColorsEvery Piece Was SmallAnd I Didn't Have a CoatAnd It
Was Way Down in the FallMomma Sewed the Rags TogetherSewin'
Every Piece With LoveShe Made My Coat of Many ColorsThat I Was So
Proud OfAs She Sewed, She Told a StoryFrom the Bible, She Had
ReadAbout a Coat of Many ColorsJoseph Wore and Then She
SaidPerhaps This Coat Will Bring YouGood Luck and HappinessAnd I
Just Couldn't Wait to Wear ItAnd Momma Blessed It With a
KissChorus:My Coat of Many ColorsThat My Momma Made For MeMade
Only From RagsBut I Wore It So ProudlyAlthough We Had no MoneyI
Was Rich As I Could BeIn My Coat of Many ColorsMy Momma Made For
MeSo With Patches On My BritchesHoles in Both My ShoesIn My Coat
of Many ColorsI Hurried Off to SchoolJust to Find the Others
LaughingAnd Making Fun of MeIn My Coat of Many ColorsMy Momma
Made For MeAnd Oh I Couldn't Understand ItFor I Felt I Was
RichAnd I Told Them of the LoveMy Momma Sewed in Every StitchAnd
I Told 'em All the StoryMomma Told Me While She SewedAnd How
My Coat of Many ColorsWas Worth More Than All Their ClothesBut
They Didn't Understand ItAnd I Tried to Make Them SeeThat
One Is Only PoorOnly If They Choose to BeNow I Know We Had no
MoneyBut I Was Rich As I Could BeIn My Coat of Many ColorsMy
Momma Made For MeMade Just For Me
