《Coat of Many Colours》是由Various Artists演唱的民謠歌曲，收錄於同名專輯。作品靈感源自聖經中約瑟的彩衣傳說，取材於創作者童年時期母親用碎布縫製外套的真實經歷，通過兒童視角展開敘事。
歌曲以回憶為線索，講述貧寒家庭中母親將零散布頭縫成彩色外套，並借聖經故事傳遞祝福的溫情場景。主人公雖因衣物破舊遭同學嘲笑，卻堅信母親用愛編織的衣物勝過華服，傳遞"貧窮取決於心靈選擇"的質樸價值觀。作品以簡潔的民謠風格，通過縫衣細節、童真獨白等日常意象，展現物質匱乏與精神富足的對比，歌詞中"Made just for me"的細節更強化個性化情感表達。

歌曲歌詞
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags someone gave us
How my momma put those rags to use
There were rags of many colors every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat it was late in the fall
Sewed the rags together she sewed every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors 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 she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
It's momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors that my momma made for me
Made from only rags but I wore it so proudly
Well we didn't have much 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 laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
One is only poor Only if he choose to be
And we no have no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
Made just for me
