GBack, through the years I go wonderin’ once againGBack to the seasons of my

Cyouth

C

I re-Gcall the box of rags that someone gave us

G

AndGhow my momma put the rags to

Cuse

C

There wereGrags of many colours, and every piece was small

And IGdidn't have a coat, and it was

D7way down in the fall

MommaGsewed the rags together, sewin’

Cevery piece with love

She made myGcoat of many colours, that

D7I was so

Gproud of

G

As sheGsewed she told a story, from the bible she had read

Page 19

About aGcoat of many colours, Joseph

D7wore and then she said

Per-Ghaps this coat will bring you, good

Cluck and happiness

And I justGcouldn't wait to wear it

And mommaD7blessed it with a

Gkiss

G

MyCcoat of many colours that my

Gmomma made for me

CMade only from rags, but I

Gwore it so

D7proudly

D7

Al-Gthough we had no money, oh I was

Crich as I could be

In myGcoat of many colours, my

D7momma made for

Gme

G

| E7 / E7

So withApatches on my britches, and holes in both my shoes

In myAcoat of many colours, I

E7hurried off to school

Just toAfind the others laughin’, and a-

Dmakin’ fun of me

In myAcoat of many colours, my

E7momma made for

Ame

A

Page 20

And oh IAcouldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich

And IAtold ‘em of the love my momma

E7sewed in every stitch

And IAtold ‘em all the story momma

Dtold me while she sewed

And how myAcoat of many colours

Was worthE7more than all their

Aclothes

A

But theyDdidn't understand it and I

Atried to make them see

ThatDone is only poor, only

Aif they choose to

E7be

Now IAknow we had no money, but I was

Drich as I could be

In myAcoat of many colours, my
