  • (dolly parton)
  • Back through the years I go wondering once again
  • Back to the seasons of my youth
  • I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
  • And how my mamma put these rags to use
  • There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
  • And I didnt have a coat and it was way down in the fall
  • Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
  • She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of
  • As she sewed she told the story from the Bible she had read
  • About a coat of many colours, joseph wore and they she said
  • Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
  • And I just couldnt wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss
  • My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
  • Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
  • Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
  • In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
  • So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
  • In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
  • Just to find the others laughing and makin fun of me
  • In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
  • Oh, I couldnt understand it, for I felt I was rich
  • And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
  • And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
  • And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes
  • They didnt under stand it and I tried to make them see
  • That one is only poor only if they choose to be
  • Now I know we have no money, but Im as rich as I could be
  • In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
  • In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me
