Coat of Many Colors - 2003 Remaster

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 mama put the rags to use
 There were rags of many colors, every piece was small
 And I didn't have a coat, it was way down in the fall
 Mama sewed the rags together, she sewed every piece with love
 She made my coat of many colors, 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 as mama blessed it with a kiss
 My coat of many colors that my mama made for me
 Made from only rags, but I wore it so proudly
 Though we didn't have much 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, holes in both my shoes
 In the coat of many colors, well I started, off to school
 Just to find the others laughing, making fun of me
 In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me
 Now I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich
 ♪
 And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch
 All about the story mama told me while she sewed
 And 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
 No, we didn't have much money, I was rich as I could be
 In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me
 In my coat of many colors, my mama made just for me
