Coat Of Many Colors - Remastered

Back through the years, I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use

There were rags of many colors, every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat, it was way down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together, she sewed every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors, 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 as mama blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors that my mama made for me
Made from only rags, but I wore it so proudly
Though we didn't have much money, I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me

So with patches on my britches, holes in both my shoes
In the coat of many colors, well I started, off to school
Just to find the others laughing, making fun of me
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me

Now I didn't understand it for I felt that I was rich
And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch
All about the story mama told me while she sewed
And my coat of many colors 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
No, we didn't have much money, I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me
In my coat of many colors, my mama made just for me
