| Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics |
| Artist(Band):Dolly Parton |
| 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 and 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 mama 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 |
| And oh I couldn'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 of the story mama told me while she sewed |
| And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes |
| They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see |
| That one is only poor only if they choose to be |
| I know we had no money but I was as rich as I could be |
| In my coat of many colors my mama made for me made just for me |
