Two Coats Lyrics - Patty Loveless

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
