Text: Patty Loveless. Two Coats.

Two coats were before me an old and a new
I asked my sweet master oh what must I do
The old coat was ugly so tattered and torn
The other a new one had never been worn

I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new

The first man was earthly and made from the ground
We bore all his image the whole world around
The next was my Savior from heaven so fair
He brought me this new coat you now see me wear

I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new

Now this coat it suits me and keeps me so warm
It's good in the winter it's good in the storm
My savior has dressed me in a garment so rare
He brought me this new coat you now see me wear

I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new
