《Joseph’s coat》歌词

[00:00:05] Back through the years

[00:00:08] I go on wonderin' once again

[00:00:11] Back to the seasons of my youth

[00:00:16] I recall box of rags that someone gave us

[00:00:22] And how my momma put the rags to use

[00:00:27] There were rags of many colors

[00:00:30] Every piece was small

[00:00:33] And I didn't have a coat

[00:00:35] And it was way down in the fall

[00:00:38] Momma sewed the rags together

[00:00:41] Sewin every piece with love

[00:00:43] She made my coat of many colors

[00:00:47] That I was so proud of

[00:00:51] As she sewed she told a story

[00:00:54] From the bible she had read

[00:00:56] About a coat of many colors

[00:00:59] Joseph wore and then she said

[00:01:02] Perhaps this coat will bring you

[00:01:05] Goodluck and happiness

[00:01:07] And I just couldn't wait to wear it

[00:01:10] And momma blessed it with a kiss

[00:01:15] My coat of many colors

[00:01:17] That my momma made for me

[00:01:21] Made only from rags

[00:01:23] Bit I wore it so proudly

[00:01:28] Although we had no money

[00:01:30] I was rich as I could be

[00:01:33] In my coat of many colors

[00:01:36] My momma made for me

[00:01:42] So with patches on my britches

[00:01:46] Holes in both my shoes

[00:01:48] In my coat of many colors

[00:01:51] I hurried off to school

[00:01:54] Just to find the others laughing

[00:01:57] And making fun of me

[00:01:59] In my coat of many colors

[00:02:02] My momma made for me

[00:02:06] And oh I couldn't understand it

[00:02:09] For I felt I was rich

[00:02:12] And I told them of the love

[00:02:14] My momma sewed in every stitch

[00:02:17] And I told 'em all the story momma told me

[00:02:21] While she sewed

[00:02:23] And how my coat of many colors

[00:02:26] Was worth more than all their clothes

[00:02:30] But they didn't understand it

[00:02:33] And I tried to make them see

[00:02:36] That one is only poor

[00:02:38] Only if they choose to be

[00:02:43] Now I know we had no money

[00:02:45] But I was rich as I could be

[00:02:48] In my coat of many colors

[00:02:51] My momma made for me

[00:02:54] Made just for me
