Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics - Somewhere - Eva Cassidy

Back through the years I go wondering once again 

Back to the seasons of my youth 

I recall a box of rags that someone gave us 

And how my mamma put these rags to use 

There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small 

And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall 

Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love 

She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of 

As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read 

About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said 

Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness 

And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colours that mamma made for me 

Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly 

Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be 

In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me 

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes 

In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school 

Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me 

In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me 

Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich 

And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch 

And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed 

And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes 

Photos 

They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see 

That one is only poor only if they choose to be 

Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be 

In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me 

In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me
