back through the years i go wanderin' once again
back to the seasons of my youth
i recall a box of rags that someone gave us
and how my momma put the rags to use
there were rags of many colors
but every piece was small
and i didn't have a coat
and it was way down in the fall
momma sewed the rags together
sewin' every piece with love
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
