CBack through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my Fyouth
I recaCll a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mamma put those rags to uFse
There were Crags of many Colors and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it was Gway down in the fGall
Mamma sCewed the rags together she sewied Fever piece with love
She made my Ccoat of many Colors GI was so proud Cof
As she Csewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many Colors Joseph Gwore and then she said
PCerhaps this coat will bring you good lFove and happiness
And I just Ccouldn't wait to wear it
As mamma bGlessed it with a Ckiss
My Fcoat of many Colors that my Cmamma made for me
FMade from only rags but I Cwore it so proGudly
though we Cdidn't have much money oh I was Frich as I could be
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made for Cme
CSo with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many Colors well I Gstarted off to school
Just to Cfind the children laughing and Fmakin' fun of me
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made for Cme
NCow I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich
And I told them of the love my mamma Gsewed in ever stitch
CAll about the story mamma Ftold me while she sewed
And how my Ccoat of many Colors
WAs worth Gmore than all of their Cgold
They Fdidn't under stand it and I Ctried to make them see
FOne's only poor only Cif you choose to Gbe
We didnt Chave no money but FI'm as rich as I couldC be
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made for Cme
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made just for Fme C
