Karaoke Coat Of Many Colours

Mmm, back through the years
I go wondering once again
Back through the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my momma 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
Momma sewed the rags together sewing 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 happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and momma blessed it with a kiss
And 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
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 momma made for me
I just couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich
And I told them all the love my momma sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the stories momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes
They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
And I know we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
Made just for me
