| [00:05.79] |
Back through the years |
| [00:07.76] |
I go wonderin' once again |
| [00:11.56] |
Back to the seasons of my youth |
| [00:16.17] |
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us |
| [00:21.98] |
And how my momma put the rags to use |
| [00:27.34] |
There were rags of many colors |
| [00:31.06] |
Every piece was small |
| [00:33.31] |
And I didn't have a coat |
| [00:35.79] |
And it was way down in the fall |
| [00:38.91] |
Momma sewed the rags together |
| [00:41.68] |
Sewin' every piece with love |
| [00:44.31] |
She made my coat of many colors |
| [00:47.86] |
That I was so proud of |
| [00:51.64] |
As she sewed she told a story |
| [00:54.51] |
From the bible she had read |
| [00:57.25] |
About a coat of many colors |
| [01:00.12] |
Joseph wore and then she said |
| [01:03.30] |
Perhaps this coat will bring you |
| [01:05.82] |
Good luck and happiness |
| [01:08.43] |
And I just couldn't wait to wear it |
| [01:11.71] |
And momma blessed it with a kiss |
| [01:15.93] |
My coat of many colors |
| [01:18.31] |
That my momma made for me |
| [01:21.75] |
Made only from rags |
| [01:24.26] |
But I wore it so proudly |
| [01:28.40] |
Although we had no money |
| [01:31.28] |
I was rich as I could be |
| [01:33.92] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:37.14] |
My momma made for me |
| [01:43.62] |
So with patches on my britches |
| [01:46.95] |
Holes in both my shoes |
| [01:49.43] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:52.19] |
I hurried off to school |
| [01:54.95] |
Just to find the others laughing |
| [01:57.76] |
And making fun of me |
| [02:00.53] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:03.57] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:07.04] |
And oh I couldn't understand it |
| [02:10.53] |
For I felt I was rich |
| [02:12.96] |
And I told them of the love |
| [02:15.38] |
My momma sewed in every stitch |
| [02:18.62] |
And I told em all the story |
| [02:21.33] |
Momma told me while she sewed |
| [02:23.90] |
And how my coat of many colors |
| [02:26.96] |
Was worth more than all their clothes |
| [02:31.17] |
But they didn't understand it |
| [02:33.90] |
And I tried to make them see |
| [02:37.15] |
That one is only poor |
| [02:39.65] |
Only if they choose to be |
| [02:43.67] |
Now I know we had no money |
| [02:46.43] |
But I was rich as I could be |
| [02:49.20] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:52.34] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:56.00] |
Made just for me |
