Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton Lyrics
Back through the years I go wanderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
And I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
But every piece was small
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
While momma sewed, she told a story
From The Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
"I hope 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
And although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
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
Momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand that
'Cause I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
Momma sewed in every stitch
I even told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
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 they choose to be
It's true we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
Momma made for me
'Cause she made it just for me
