   Back through the years
  I go wonderin' 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
  Sewin' 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
  Chorus:
  
  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 stitch
  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
  Made just for me
