Back 1hrough 1he years
I go wanderin' once again
Back to he seasons

Of my youfh
I recall a box of rags
Thai someone gave us

And how my Mo ma
Put the rags to use
There were
Rags of many colors

Buf every piece
Was small
And I did n'f have a coat

And if was way down

In the fall
Ma mo sewed
The rags together

Sewin' every piece

With love
She made my coat

Of mo ny colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed
She told a story

From the Bible
She had read
About a coat
Of many colors

Joseph wore

And then she said
Perhaps this coat
Will bring you

Good luck
And he p pi ness
And I iusf could n'f waif
To wear it

And Mo mo blessed it
With a kiss
My coat of ma ny colors
That my Ma ma

Made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although

We had no money

Well, I was rich
As I could be
In my coat

Of mo ny colors
My Mama made for me
So with patches
On my briiches

And holes
In both my shoes
In my coat

Of mo ny colors
I hurried 0H 10 school
Just to find

The others loughin'
And me kin' fun of me
In my coat

Of mo ny colors
My Mama made for me
And oh, I

Could n'i understand ii
For I felt I was rich
And I told 'em of the love

My Mo ma sewed
In every stitch
And I told 'em all
The story

Ma ma told me

While she sewed
And how my coat
Of ma ny colors

Was worth more
Than all their clothes
But they
Did n'i understand it

And I tried

To make them see
That one is only poor

Only if they
Choose to be
NowI I know
We had no money

Buf I was rich
As I could be
In my coat
Of many colors

My Ma ma made for me
Made iusf for me
