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.
