Karaoke Track: Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

Back through the years

I go wandering
Once again

I recall a box of rags
That someone gave us
And how my Momma
Put the rags to use

Th ere were rags

Of many colors
Every piece was small

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 Momma blessed it
With a kiss

My coat
Of many colors

That my Momma

Made for me

Made only from rags

Butl wore it
So proudly

Although we

Had no money

Well, I was rich
As I could be

In my coat

Of many colors

My Momma
Made for me

So, with patches
On my britches
And holes

In both my shoes

And my coat

Of many colors
I hurried off to school

Just to find
The others laughing

And they're
Making fun of me

In my coat

Of many colors

My Momma
Made for me

And oh, I couldn't
Understand it

For I feltl was rich

And I told them all
The story

Momma told me
While she sewed

And how my coat

Of many colors

Was worth more
Than all their clothes

They didn't
Understand it
And I tried

To make them see

One is only poor
Only if

They choose to be

Now I kn ow

We had no money

Butl was rich
As I could be

In my coat

Of many colors

My Momma
Made for me
