Back through the years I go wonderin once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags to use There were rags of many colors Every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall Momma sewed the rags together Sewin every piece with love She made my coat of many colors That I was so proud of 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 couldnt wait to wear it And momma blessed it with a kiss Chorus: My coat of many colors That my momma 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 momma made for me So with patches on my britches Holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school Just to find the others laugh...

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, Older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, Growing like a breeze. Country roads, take me home. To the place I belong, West Virginia, mountain mama. Take me home, country roads.

To the place I belong, West Virginia, mountain mama. Take me home, country roads. I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me. The radio reminds me of my home far away, And driving down the road I get a feeling, That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home. To the place I belong, West Virginia, mountain mama. Take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home. To the place I belong, West Virginia, mountain mama. Take me home, country roads...
