Back through the years I go wan d’ring once a gain,
back to the sea sons of my (Eb)youth.
I re (Bb)call a box of rags that some one gave us
and how my ma ma put the rags to (Eb)use.
There were (Bb)rags of man y col ors from but ev ’ry piece was small, a and I did n’t have a coat and it was (F)way down in the fall.
Ma ma (Bb)sewed the rags to geth er, sew ing (Eb)ev ’ry piece with love.
She made my (Bb)coat of man y col ors and that ma (F)I was so (Bb)proud of.
And As she (Bb)sewed she told a sto ry from and Bi ble she had read, a bout a coat of man y col my Jo seph (F)wore, and then she said, just “Per (Bb)haps this coat will bring you good a (Eb)luck and hap pi ness.” And I just (Bb)could n’t wait to col ors and my worth (F)blessed it with (Bb)a kiss.
And oh, I
My they (Eb)coat of man y col ors that my (Bb)ma ma made for me that (Eb)made on ly from rags but I (Bb)wore it so proud (F)ly.
Now Al (Bb)though we had no mon ey, but I was (Eb)rich as I could be in my (Bb)coat of man y col ors my (F)ma ma made for me.
So with (F)ma ma made for me,
made just for (Bb)me.
