CBack through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my Fyouth
I recaCll a box of rags  someone gave us
And how my mamma put those rags to uFse
There were Crags of many Colors and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it was Gway down in the fGall
Mamma sCewed the rags together  she sewied Fever piece with love
She made my Ccoat of many Colors  GI was so proud Cof
As she Csewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many Colors Joseph Gwore and then she said
PCerhaps this coat will bring you good lFove and happiness
And I just Ccouldn't wait to wear it
As mamma bGlessed it with a Ckiss
My  Fcoat of many Colors that my Cmamma made for me
FMade from  only rags  but I Cwore it so proGudly
though we Cdidn't have much money oh I was Frich as I could be
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made for Cme
CSo with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many Colors  well I Gstarted off to school
Just to Cfind the children laughing and Fmakin' fun of me
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made for Cme
NCow  I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich
And I told them of the love my mamma Gsewed in ever stitch
CAll about the story mamma Ftold me while she sewed
And how my Ccoat of many Colors
WAs worth Gmore than all of their Cgold
They Fdidn't under stand it and I Ctried to make them see
FOne's only poor only Cif you choose to Gbe
We didnt  Chave no money but FI'm as rich as I could Cbe
In my Ccoat of many Colors my Gmamma made for Cme

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 Colors and every piece was small

G G

And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall

C F

Mamma sewed the rags together she sewied ever piece with love

C G C

She made my coat of many Colors I was so proud of

As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read

About a coat of many Colors Joseph wore and then she said

C F

Perhaps this coat will bring you good love and happiness

And I just couldn't wait to wear it

G C

As mamma blessed it with a kiss

F C

My coat of many Colors that my mamma made for me

F C G

Made from only rags but I wore it so proudly

C F

though we didn't have much money oh I was rich as I could be

C G C

In my coat of many Colors my mamma made for me

So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes

In my coat of many Colors well I started off to school

C F

Just to find the children laughing and makin' fun of me

C G C

In my coat of many Colors my mamma made for me

Now I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich

And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch

C F

All about the story mamma told me while she sewed

And how my coat of many Colors

G C

WAs worth more than all of their gold

F C

They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see

F C G

One's only poor only if you choose to be

C F C

We didnt have no money but I'm as rich as I could be

C G C

In my coat of many Colors my mamma made for me

C G F C

In my coat of many Colors my mamma made just for me
