Lyrics Eva Cassidy – Coat Of Many Colors
Text:
Back through the years
I go wonderin’ once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And my momma put those rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I early in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
She sowed 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 happiness
I just couldn’t wait to wear it
Cause momma blessed it with a kiss
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I early in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
She sowed 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 happiness
I just couldn’t wait to wear it
Cause momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made from only rags
But I wore it so proudly
But we didn’t have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
They didn’t understand
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Well we didn’t have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
In my coat of many colours
My momma made Just for me
Only if they choose to be
Well we didn’t have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
In my coat of many colours
My momma made Just for me
