Coat Of Many Colors Lyrics - Shania Twain

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 momma 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 Josheph 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 

my coat of many colors that my momma made for me 

made only from rags but i wore it so proudly 

i know we had money but i was rich as 

i could be in my coat of many colors 

my momma made for me 

so with patches on my britiches 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 momma made for me 

and oh i couldn't understand for i felt i was rich 

and i told them all the love my momma sewed in every stich 

and i told them 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 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 momma made for me 

made just for me
