A Reading of 'Coat of Many Colors' (Bonus Track)
Back through the years I go wonderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth 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 But every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall Momma sewed the rags together She sewed every stitch with love And made my coat of many colors That I was so proud of
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
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 happiness And I couldn't wait to wear it As she blessed it with a kiss
So with patches on my britches And holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colors Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I hurried off to school Just to find the children laughing And making fun of me In my coat of many colors That my momma made for me
And I didn't understand it For I felt that I was rich And I told them of the love That momma sewed in every stitch And I told 'em all the story Momma told me as she sewed And how my coat of many colors Was worth more than all their gold
But they didn't understand it And I tried to make them see That one is only poor If they choose to be And though we had no money But I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors That momma made for me
Through life I remained happy And good luck is on my side I have everything That anyone could ever want from life But nothing is as precious As mommas memory And my coat of many colors That my momma made for me
