| [00:15.880] |
Back through the years |
| [00:17.800] |
I go wonderin' once again |
| [00:21.770] |
Back to the seasons of youthmy |
| [00:26.050] |
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us |
| [00:32.170] |
And how my momma put the rags to use |
| [00:37.500] |
There were rags of many colors |
| [00:41.030] |
Every piece was small |
| [00:43.460] |
And I didn't have a coat |
| [00:45.850] |
And it was way down in the fog |
| [00:48.960] |
Momma sewed the rags together |
| [00:52.000] |
Sewing every piece with love |
| [00:54.370] |
She made my coat of many colors |
| [00:57.330] |
|
| [00:57.970] |
That I was so proud of |
| [01:01.970] |
As she sewed, she told a story |
| [01:04.710] |
From the bible, she had read |
| [01:07.370] |
About a coat of many colors |
| [01:10.300] |
Joseph wore and then she said |
| [01:13.240] |
Perhaps this coat will bring you |
| [01:16.060] |
Good luck and happiness |
| [01:18.500] |
And I just couldn't wait to wear it |
| [01:21.310] |
And momma blessed it with a kiss |
| [01:26.090] |
My coat of many colors |
| [01:28.540] |
That my momma made for me |
| [01:31.900] |
Made only from rags |
| [01:34.340] |
But I wore it so proudly |
| [01:38.650] |
Although we had no money |
| [01:41.420] |
I was rich as I could be |
| [01:44.100] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [01:47.130] |
My momma made for me |
| [01:53.700] |
So with patches on my britches |
| [01:57.160] |
Holes in both my shoes |
| [01:59.720] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:02.600] |
I hurried off to school |
| [02:05.100] |
Just to find the others laughing |
| [02:07.900] |
And making fun of me |
| [02:10.520] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [02:13.810] |
My momma made for me |
| [02:17.370] |
And oh I couldn't understand it |
| [02:20.630] |
For I felt I was rich |
| [02:23.310] |
And I told them of the love |
| [02:25.500] |
My momma sewed in every stitch |
| [02:28.980] |
And I told 'em all the story |
| [02:31.590] |
Momma told me while she sewed |
| [02:33.980] |
And how my coat of many colors |
| [02:37.290] |
Was worth more than all their clothes |
| [02:41.470] |
But they didn't understand it |
| [02:43.970] |
And I tried to make them see |
| [02:47.140] |
That one is only poor |
| [02:49.440] |
|
| [02:50.000] |
Only if they choose to be |
| [02:54.060] |
Now I know we had no money |
| [02:56.830] |
But I was rich as I could be |
| [02:59.390] |
In my coat of many colors |
| [03:02.420] |
My momma made for me |
| [03:06.310] |
Made just for me |
