Shania Twain - Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics

Back through the years I go wandering once again 
back through the seasons of my youth 
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us 
and how my mama put the rags to use 

There were rags of many colors, and every piece was small 
and I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall 
Mama 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, good luck and hapiness" 
And I just couldn't wait to wear it and mama blessed it with a kiss 

My coat of many colors that my mama 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 mama made for me 

So with patches on my britches, and 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 mama made for me 

And I just couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich 
And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch 
And I told them all the stories, mama told me while 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, I was rich as I could be 
In my coat of many colors, my mama made for me 

Made just for me.
