feat. Dolly Parton

Shania:
Back through the years
As I go wonderin´ once again
Back through the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags someone gave us
And 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
Sewin´ every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of

Dolly and Shania:
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 only from rags but 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

Shania:
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 laughin´
And making fun of me in my coat of many colors
My Mama made for me

And I just couldn´t understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told `em of the love
My Mama sewed in every stich
And I told `em all the stories
Mama told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

Dolly and Shania:
But they didn´t understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
And I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My Mama made for me
Made just for me
