Coat Of Many Colours (Live)
(Cma Presents I Will Always Love You: A Celebration Of Dolly Parton - 21. October 2026)
Intro
Verse 1
Back Through The Years
I Go Wonderin Once Again
Back To The Seasons Of My Youth
I Do Recall A Box Of Rags That Someone Gave Us
And How My Momma Put The Rags To Use
Verse 2
There Were Rags Of Many Colors
Every Piece Was Small
And I Didn't Have A Coat
And It Was Way Down In The Fall
Momma Sewed The Rags Together
Sewin Every Piece With Love
She Made My Coat Of Many Colors
That I Was So Proud Of
Verse 3
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
I Hope 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
Chorus
My Coat Of Many Colors
That My Momma Made For Me
Made Only From Rags
But I Wore It So Proudly
Although We Had No Money
Well I Was Rich As I Could Be
In My Coat Of Many Colors
My Momma Made For Me
Verse 4
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 Momma Made For Me
Verse 5
And I Couldn't Understand That
For I Felt I Was Rich
And I Told Them Of The Love
Momma Sewed In Every Stitch
I Even Told Em All The Story
That Momma Told Me While She Sewed
Why My Coat Of Many Colors
Was Worth More Than All Their Clothes
Out-Chorus
They Didn't Understand It
And I Tried To Make Them See
One Is Only Poor
Only If They Choose To Be
It's True, We Had No Money
But I Was Rich As I Could Be
In My Coat Of Many Colors
My Momma Made For Me
Made Just For Me
