| Coat of Many Colors Lyrics |
| Artist(Band):Shania Twain |
| 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 |
| momma 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 money but 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 a making fun of me |
| in my coat of many colors my mama made for me |
| and oh I couldn't understand for I felt I was rich |
| and I told them all the love my mama sewed in every stich |
| 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 and I tried to make them see |
| one is only poor only if they choose to be |
| now I know we have no money but I was rich as I could be |
| in my coat of many colors mama made for me |
| made just for me |
