dolly parton - coat of many colors - live version lyrics

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 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 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 brang 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 oh 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
and my coat of many colors my momma made for me
and oh i couldn’t understand that for i thought i was rich
and then 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 why 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 you choose to be
it is true we had no money but i was rich as i could be
in my coat of many colors momma made for me
made just for me
