Back through the years i go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
And I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors and every piece was small
And i didn´t have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together sewing every piece with love she
Made my coat of many colors that i was so proud of

And while she 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 happiness
And i just couldn´t wait to wear it and momma blessed it with a
Kiss
My coat of many colors that my momma made for me
Made only from rags but i wore it so proudly
Although we had no money i was rich as i could be in my coat of
Many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches 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
And my coat of many colors that momma made for me
And oh i couldn´t understand that cause I thought i was rich
And then i told them all the love my momma sewed in every stich
And then i told them all the story that momma told me while she sewed
And 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 you choose to be
It is true we had no money but i was rich as i could be
In my coat of many colors momma made for me
Made just for me
