Shania Twain Coat of many colours Feat Alison Krauss Lyrics

Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to 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 momma sewed the rags
together sewing 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 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
money but 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 a
making fun of me in my coat of many colors my mama
made for me and oh I couldn't understand for I
felt I was rich and I told them all the love my
mama sewed in every stich and I told them all the
story mama told me while she sewed and how my coat
of many colors was worth more than all their
clothes

But they didn't understand and I tried to make
them see one is only poor only if they choose to
be now I know we have no money but I was rich as I
could be in my coat of many colors mama made for
me made just for me
