coat of many colors - the oak ridge boys lyrics

Loading...

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 momma put the rags to use
there were rags of many colors
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

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
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

and oh i couldn’t understand it
for i felt i was rich
and i told them of the love
my momma sewed in every st-tch
and i told’em all the story
momma told me while she 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
but i was rich as i could be
in my coat of many colors
my momma made for me
just for me
