A Reading of "Coat of Many Colors" - Bonus Track

Back through the years
 I go wonderin' once again
 Back to the seasons of my youth
 I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
 And how my momma put the rags to use
 There were rags of many colors
 But every piece was small
 And I didn't have a coat
 And it was way down in the fall
 Momma sewed the rags together
 She sewed every stitch with love
 And made my coat of many colors
 That I was so proud of
 My coat of many colors
 That my momma 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 momma made for me
 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 couldn't wait to wear it
 As she blessed it with a kiss
 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 children laughing
 And making fun of me
 In my coat of many colors
 That my momma made for me
 And I didn't understand it
 For I felt that I was rich
 And I told them of the love
 That momma sewed in every stitch
 And I told 'em all the story
 Momma told me as she sewed
 And how my coat of many colors
 Was worth more than all their gold
 But they didn't understand it
 And I tried to make them see
 That one is only poor
 If they choose to be
 And though we had no money
 But I was rich as I could be
 In my coat of many colors
 That momma made for me
 Through life I remained happy
 And good luck is on my side
 I have everything
 That anyone could ever want from life
 But nothing is as precious
 As mommas memory
 And my coat of many colors
 That my momma made for me
