sara greer - coat of many colors (cover) lyrics

[verse 1]
back through the years i go wandering once again
back to the seasons of my youth
i recall a box of rags that someone gave us
and how my mama put the rags to use

[verse 2]
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
mama sewed the rags together sewing every piece with love
and made my coat of many colors that i was so proud of

[verse 3]
and as she sewed, she told a story from the bible she had read
about a coat of many colors josеph wore and then she said
pеrhaps 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

[bridge 1]
my coat of many colors that my mama 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 my mama made for me

[verse 4]
so with patches on my britches and 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 mama made for me
[verse 5]
and i just couldn’t understand it for i felt i was rich
and i told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch
and i told them all the story mama told me while she sewed
and how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes

[bridge 2]
but they didn’t understand it, and i tried to make them see
one is only poor only if they choose to be
i know we had no money, but i was rich as i could be
in my coat of many colors, my mama made for me
made just for me
(i love you, mommy!)
