Kenny Rogers Miscellaneous Coat of Many Colors Back through the years I go wandering once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall the box of rags Someone gave us And how my mama 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 away down in the fall Mama sewed the rags together So in every piece with luck 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 my mama blessed it with a kiss My coat of many colors That my mama made for me Made only from rags That I wore it so proudly Although we had no money Well, I was rich as I could be 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 And no, I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich 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 But they didn't understand it And I tried to make them see "But one is only poor Only if he chooses to be." Now I know we had no money In my coat of many colors My mama made for me Made just for me |
