Coat Of Many Colors - Live

Back through the years I go wandering once again
 Back to the seasons of my youth
 I do recall, a box of rags that someone gave us
 And how my mama put those rags to use
 There were rags of many colors, and every piece was small
 I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
 Mama sewed the rags together, sewin every piece with love
 She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of
 While mama sewed she told a story from the bible she had read
 About a coat of many colors, Joseph wore and then she said
 "I hope this coat will bring you, good luck and hapiness"
 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
 And 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 that mama made for me
 And oh, I couldn't understand it 'cause I felt I was rich
 And I told them of the love that mama sewed in every stitch
 And I told them all the story, and mama told me while sewed
 Why my coat of many colors, was worth more than all their clothes
 They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
 One is only poor, only if they choose to be
 It's true we had no money, but I was rich as I could be
 In my coat of many colors, mama made for me
 Made just for me
