Eva Cassidy - Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics
Back through the yearsI go wonderin' once againBack to the seasons of my youthI recall a box of rags that someone gave usAnd my momma put those rags to useThere were rags of many colorsEvery piece was smallAnd I early in the fallMomma sewed the rags togetherShe sowed every piece with loveShe made my coat of many colorsThat I was so proud ofAs she sewed, she told a storyFrom the bible, she had readAbout a coat of many colorsJoseph wore and then she saidPerhaps this coat will bring youGood luck and happinessI just couldn't wait to wear itCause momma blessed it with a kissMy coat of many colorsThat my momma made for meMade from only ragsBut I wore it so proudlyBut we didn't have much moneyI was rich as I could beIn my coat of many colorsMy momma made for meThey didn't understandAnd I tried to make them seeThat one is only poorOnly if they choose to beWell we didn't have much moneyI was rich as I could beIn my coat of many colorsMy momma made for meIn my coat of many coloursMy momma made Just for me
