I go wonderin' 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
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
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
Chorus:
My coat of many
colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so
proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of
many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
Holes in
both my shoes
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 momma made for me
For I felt I was rich
And I
told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all
the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many
colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them
see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had
no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My
momma made for me
Made just for me
As Recorded by
Dolly Parton
Psalm 100:4 Enter into his
gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Colossians 3:15 And
let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
2Samuel 22:50
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee,
O LORD, among the heathen,
and I will sing praises unto thy name.
Have a blessed
day!
