2
Back through the years I go wondering once again
3
Back to the seasons of my youth
4
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
5
And how my mamma put these rags to use
6
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
7
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
8
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
9
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of
10
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
11
About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said
12
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
13
And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss
14
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
15
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
16
Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
17
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
18
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
19
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
20
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
21
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
22
Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
23
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
24
And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
25
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes
26
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
27
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
28
Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be
29
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
30
In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me
