Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics - Singles - Kenny Rogers

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 

Photos 

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
