Back through the years I go wondering once again Back to the seasons of my/ youth I re/call a box of rags that someone gave us And how my mamma put these rags to/ use There were/ rags of many coloursand every piece was small And I didn’t have a coat and it was/ way down in the fall Mamma/ sewed the rags togethersewing/ every piece with love She made my/ coat of many coloursthat/ I was so proud of As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colours Joseph/ wore and then she said Per/haps this coat will bring you good/luck and happiness And I just could/n’t wait to wear it And mamma/ blessed it with a kiss My. coat of many colours that/ my mamma made for me Made only from ragsbut I/ wore it so proud/ly Al/though we had no money.oh I/ was rich as I could be In my/ coat of many coloursmy/ mamma made for me (CHANGE CORDS HERE) So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes In my coat of many coloursI/ hurried off to school Just to/ find the others laughing and mak/in’ fun of me In my/ coat of many coloursmy/ mamma made for/ me OhI couldn’t understand itfor I felt I was rich And I told them of the love my mamma/ sewed in ever stitch And I/ told them all the story mamma/ told me while she sewed And how my/ coat of many colours was worth/ more than all of their clothes They/ didn’t under stand it and I/ tried to make them see That/ one is only poor only/ if they choose to be/ Now I/ know we had no moneybut I was as/ rich as I could be In my/ coat of many colours my/ mamma made for me Made just for me.....

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le doux souvenir d’une enfance modeste, où une mère crée un manteau coloré à partir de morceaux de tissus. Elle le confectionne avec amour, tout en racontant une histoire biblique sur Joseph. Malgré les rires et les moqueries des autres enfants, le narrateur ressent une immense fierté et une richesse intérieure grâce à l'amour que ce manteau symbolise. Le contexte se déroule durant l'enfance de l'artiste, alors qu'elle se remémore des moments simples mais emplis d'affection familiale. L'accent est mis sur le fait que la véritable richesse ne réside pas dans l'argent, mais dans l'amour et l'appréciation des petites choses de la vie.
