Coat of Many Colors

Back through the years I go wondering once again
 Back to the seasons of my youth
 I recall a box of rags someone gave us
 And how my mamma put those rags to use
 There were rags of many colours, every piece was small
 And I didn't have a coat, it was way down in the fall
 Mamma sewed the rags together, she sewed ever piece with love
 She made my coat of many colours, I was so proud of
 As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
 About a coat of many colours 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 as mamma blessed it with a kiss
 My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
 Made from only rags, but I wore it so proudly
 Although we didn't have much money I was rich as I could be
 In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
 ♪
 So with patches on breaches and holes in both my shoes
 In my coat of many colours, well, I started home to school
 Just to find the children laughing, makin' fun of me
 In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
 Now, I didn't understand it, for I felt as I was rich
 And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
 I told about the story, mamma told me while she sewed
 And my coat of many colours 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 you choose to be
 Although we didn't have much money, I was rich as I could be
 In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
 In my coat of many colours, my mamma made just for me
