C
Back through the years I go wondering once again
F
Back to the seasons of my youth
C
I recall a box of rags someone gave us
F
And how my mamma put those rags to use
C
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
C
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
G
About a coat of many Colors Joseph wore and then she said
C F
Perhaps this coat will bring you good love and happiness
C
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
C
So with patches on my britches and holes in both my shoes
G
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
C
Now I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich
G
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
C
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
