Coat of Many Colours
Back through the years I go wondering once again Back to the seasons of my youth I do recall this box of rags that someone gave us And how my mamma put those rags to use There were rags of many colours, but every piece was small I didn't 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 While mamma sewed she told the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colours Joseph wore and then she said My hope this coat will bring you, good luck and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it And mamma blessed it with a kiss My coat of many colours that my mamma made for me Made only from rags, but I wore it so proudly And although we had no money I was rich as I could be Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In my coat of many colours, mamma made for me So with patches on my breaches, 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 And my coat of many colours, that mamma made for me And oh, I couldn't understand it, cos I felt I was rich And I told them of the love that mamma sewed in ever stitch I even told them of that story, that mamma told me while she sewed And why my coat of many colours was worth more than all their clothes They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see One is only poor only if they choose to be Its true we had no money, but I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, mamma made for me Made just for me...
