[00:05.89] Back through the years
[00:08.08] I go wonderin once again
[00:11.81] Back to the seasons of my youth
[00:16.36] I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
[00:22.27] And how my momma put the rags to use
[00:27.50] There were rags of many colors
[00:31.17] Every piece was small
[00:33.70] And I didnt have a coat
[00:36.05] And it was way down in the fall
[00:39.24] Momma sewed the rags together
[00:42.06] Sewin every piece with love
[00:45.07] She made my coat of many colors
[00:47.98] That I was so proud of
[00:51.85] As she sewed she told a story
[00:54.63] From the bible she had read
[00:57.35] About a coat of many colors
[01:00.21] Joseph wore and then she said
[01:03.52] Perhaps this coat will bring you
[01:05.97] Good luck and happiness
[01:08.65] And I just couldnt wait to wear it
[01:11.56] And momma blessed it with a kiss
[01:16.00] My coat of many colors
[01:18.51] That my momma made for me
[01:21.78] Made only from rags
[01:24.44] But I wore it so proudly
[01:28.59] Although we had no money
[01:31.40] I was rich as I could be
[01:34.09] In my coat of many colors
[01:37.29] My momma made for me
[01:40.07]
[01:43.75] So with patches on my britches
[01:47.12] Holes in both my shoes
[01:49.50] In my coat of many colors
[01:52.48] I hurried off to school
[01:55.15] Just to find the others laughing
[01:58.02] And making fun of me
[02:00.77] In my coat of many colors
[02:03.80] My momma made for me
[02:07.36] And oh I couldnt understand it
[02:10.80] For I felt I was rich
[02:13.26] And I told them of the love
[02:15.75] My momma sewed in every stitch
[02:18.75] And I told em all the story
[02:21.77] Momma told me while she sewed
[02:24.14] And how my coat of many colors
[02:27.24] Was worth more than all their clothes
[02:31.35] But they didnt understand it
[02:34.11] And I tried to make them see
[02:37.34] That one is only poor
[02:39.89] Only if they choose to be
[02:44.01] Now I know we had no money
[02:46.66] But I was rich as I could be
[02:49.40] In my coat of many colors
[02:52.60] My momma made for me
[02:56.49] Made just for me
[02:58.74]
