Coat of Many Colors (Cover) Lyrics by Sara Greer

2021

[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!)
