Back through the years I go wan d’ring once a gain,

I re (F)call a box of rags that some one gave us

and how my ma ma put the rags to (Bb)use.

There were (F)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 (C)way down in the fall.

Ma ma (F)sewed the rags to geth er, sew ing (Bb)ev ’ry piece with love.

She made my (F)coat of man y col ors and that ma (C)I was so (F)proud of.

And As she (F)sewed she told a sto ry from the Bi ble she had read, a bout a coat of man y col ors Jo seph (C)wore, and then she said,

just “Per (F)haps this coat will bring you good a (Bb)luck and hap pi ness.” And I just (F)could n’t wait to wear it, and Ma worth (C)blessed it with (F)a kiss.

And oh, I

My they (Bb)coat of man y col ors that my (F)ma ma made for me
