Norma Jean Coat of Many Colors Lyrics:
Back through the years I go wonderein' once again
back to the seasons of my youth I recall the box
of rags that someone gave us 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 Mama sewed the rags
together sewed 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 it all from the rags that I wore it so

proudly Although we had no money I was rich as I
could be In my coat of many colors my mama made
for me

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both
my shoes In my coat of many colors I hurried off
to school Just to find the others laughin' and a
makin' point of me In my coat of many colors my
mama made for me And oh I couldn't understand it I
felt I was rich And I told them all the love my
mama sewed in every stitch And I told them all the
story mama told me while she sewed And how my coat
of many colors was much more than all their
clothes

But they didn't understand it and I tried to make
them see That one is only poor only if they used
to be Now I know we had no money I was rich as I
could be In my coat of many colors my mama made
for me made just for me
