[Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors lyrics]
Back through the years I
Go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it
Was way down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together sewing
Every piece with love
She made my coat of many 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 happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors that
My mama made for me
Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money I was
Rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
So with patches on my britches and
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
But they didn't understand it for
I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My mama sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the story
Mama told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors was
Worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it and I
Tried to make them see
That one is only poor only
If they choose to be
Now I know we had no money but
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
Made just for me
Go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it
Was way down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together sewing
Every piece with love
She made my coat of many 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 happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors that
My mama made for me
Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money I was
Rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
So with patches on my britches and
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
But they didn't understand it for
I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My mama sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the story
Mama told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors was
Worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it and I
Tried to make them see
That one is only poor only
If they choose to be
Now I know we had no money but
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
Made just for me
