GBack, through the years I go wonderin’ once againGBack to the seasons of my
Cyouth
C
I re-Gcall the box of rags that someone gave us
G
AndGhow my momma put the rags to
Cuse
C
There wereGrags of many colours, and every piece was small
And IGdidn't have a coat, and it was
D7way down in the fall
MommaGsewed the rags together, sewin’
Cevery piece with love
She made myGcoat of many colours, that
D7I was so
Gproud of
G
As sheGsewed she told a story, from the bible she had read
Page 19
About aGcoat of many colours, Joseph
D7wore and then she said
Per-Ghaps this coat will bring you, good
Cluck and happiness
And I justGcouldn't wait to wear it
And mommaD7blessed it with a
Gkiss
G
MyCcoat of many colours that my
Gmomma made for me
CMade only from rags, but I
Gwore it so
D7proudly
D7
Al-Gthough we had no money, oh I was
Crich as I could be
In myGcoat of many colours, my
D7momma made for
Gme
G

So withApatches on my britches, and holes in both my shoes
In myAcoat of many colours, I
E7hurried off to school
Just toAfind the others laughin’, and a-
Dmakin’ fun of me
In myAcoat of many colours, my
E7momma made for
Ame

Page 20
And oh IAcouldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich
And IAtold ‘em of the love my momma
E7sewed in every stitch
And IAtold ‘em all the story momma
Dtold me while she sewed
And how myAcoat of many colours
Was worthE7more than all their
Aclothes
A
But theyDdidn't understand it and I
Atried to make them see
ThatDone is only poor, only
Aif they choose to
E7be

Now IAknow we had no money, but I was
Drich as I could be

On aCwarm summer's evenin’, on a

ICmet up with the gambler, we were both too tired to
G7sleep
SoCwe took turns a-starin’, out the
Fwindow at the
Cdarkness
TillFboredom over-
Ctook us,
Gand he began to
Cspeak
He saidC“Son I've made a life, out of
Freadin’ peoples’

AndCknowin’ what their cards were, by the way they held their
G7eyes

So IChanded him my bottle, and he
Fdrank down my last
Cswallow
CThen he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a
G7light
And theCnight got deathly quiet, and his
Fface lost all ex-
Cpression
Said “if you'reFgonna play the

Glearn to play it
