[00:04.69] Back through the years

[00:07.38] I go wonderin' once again

[00:10.56] Back to the seasons of my youth

[00:15.88] I recall a box of rags that someone gave us

[00:20.12] And how my momma put the rags to use

[00:26.77] There were rags of many colors

[00:30.22] But every piece was small

[00:32.88] And I didn't have a coat

[00:35.27] And it was way down in the fall

[00:38.45] Momma sewed the rags together

[00:41.39] Sewin' every piece with love

[00:43.77] She made my coat of many colors

[00:46.70] That I was so proud of

[00:51.50] As she sewed, she told a story

[00:53.88] From the Bible she had read

[00:56.80] About a coat of many colors

[00:59.72] Joseph wore and then she said

[01:02.38] Perhaps this coat will bring you

[01:05.57] Good luck and happiness

[01:07.69] And I just couldn't wait to wear it

[01:11.14] And momma blessed it with a kiss

[01:15.40] My coat of many colors

[01:18.05] That my momma made for me

[01:20.98] Made only from rags

[01:23.38] But I wore it so proudly

[01:27.89] Although we had no money

[01:30.81] I was rich as I could be

[01:33.47] In my coat of many colors

[01:36.39] My momma made for me

[01:43.04] So with patches on my britches

[01:46.22] And holes in both my shoes

[01:49.15] In my coat of many colors

[01:51.81] I hurried off to school

[01:54.47] Just to find the others laughing

[01:57.40] And making fun of me

[02:00.07] In my coat of many colors

[02:02.73] My momma made for me

[02:07.23] And oh, I couldn't understand it

[02:09.91] For I felt I was rich

[02:12.30] And I told 'em of the love

[02:14.96] My momma sewed in every stitch

[02:18.14] And I told 'em all the story

[02:21.06] Momma told me while she sewed

[02:23.72] And how my coat of many colors

[02:26.37] Was worth more than all their clothes

[02:31.15] But they didn't understand it

[02:33.55] And I tried to make them see

[02:36.47] That one is only poor

[02:38.86] Only if they choose to be

[02:42.05] Now I know we had no money

[02:46.04] But I was rich as I could be

[02:48.69] In my coat of many colors

[02:51.62] My momma made for me

[02:55.62] Made just for me
