Emmylou Harris
Coat Of Many Colors

(Dolly Parton)

Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to use.

There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of.

As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss.

My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me.

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me.

Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes.

They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me...


Mirror lyrics:

In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me...
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see

And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes.
And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich

In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me.
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes

In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me.
Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me

And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss.
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read

She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of.
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small

And how my mamma put these rags to use.
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
Back to the seasons of my youth
Back through the years I go wondering once again
