[00:00.20]Coat of Many Colours - Ameritz - Tribute
[00:09.58]Back through the years I go wondering once again
[00:15.53]Back to the seasons of my youth
[00:19.90]I recall a box of rags someone gave us
[00:26.06]How my momma put those rags to use
[00:31.15]There were rags of many colors every piece was small
[00:37.25]And I didn't have a coat it was late in the fall
[00:42.73]Mama sewed the rags together
[00:45.52]So sewed every piece with love
[00:48.10]She made my coat of many colors
[00:51.46]That I was so proud of
[00:55.42]As she sewed she told a story from the bible she had read
[01:00.97]About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and she said
[01:06.87]Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness
[01:12.24]And I just couldn't wait to wear it
[01:15.02]It's momma blessed it with a kiss
[01:19.40]My coat of many colors that my momma made for me
[01:25.21]Made from only rags but I wore it so proudly
[01:32.34]Well we have no money
[01:34.73]I was rich as I could be
[01:37.76]In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
[01:47.01]So with patches on my britches
[01:50.37]Holes in both my shoes
[01:52.87]In my coat of many colors
[01:55.84]I hurried off to school
[01:58.49]Just to find the others laughing
[02:01.36]And making fun of me
[02:04.01]In my coat of many colors
[02:07.14]My momma made for me
[02:10.84]And oh I couldnt understand it
[02:14.16]For I felt I was rich
[02:16.74]And I told them of the love
[02:19.03]My momma sewed in every stitch
[02:22.32]And I told em all the story
[02:25.14]Momma told me while she sewed
[02:27.57]And how my coat of many colors
[02:30.41]Was worth more than all their clothes
[02:34.92]But they didnt understand it
[02:37.94]And I tried to make them see
[02:40.93]That one is only poor
[02:43.48]Only if they choose to be
[02:47.70]Now I know we had no money
[02:50.29]But I was rich as I could be
[02:53.10]In my coat of many colors
[02:56.13]My momma made for me
[02:59.97]Made just for me
