Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics

Back through the years I go wandering once again
back through the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
and how my mama 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
Mama sewed the rags together, sewin every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of

As she sewed she told a story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colors, Joseph wore and then she said
"Perhaps this coat will bring you, good luck and hapiness"
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and mama blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors that my mama made for me
Made only from rags, but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money I was rich as I could beShania Twain - Coat Of Many Colors - http://motolyrics.com/shania-twain/coat-of-many-colors-lyrics.html
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me

So with patches on my britches, and 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
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me

And I just couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the stories, mama told me while sewed
And how my coat of many colors, was worth more than all their clothes

But they didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
that one is only poor, only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money, I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me

Made just for me.
