GUEST,Paul Kaplan Origin:I Had a Little Overcoat/Hob Ikh Mir a Mantl (13) RE: Lyr: I Had a Little Overcoat / Hob Ikh Mir a Mantl 29 Nov 04

Here is the story of "I Had an Old Coat:" Marcia Lane sang me the song "I Had a Little Overcoat." I loved the song, and immediately set about to write an "American" version. In a few days I had my song, with a tune influenced by "Froggie Went a Courtin'" and "The Crawdad Song." Marcia was the first to record it.

Anyone who wants to hear me sing it on recording can contact me through www.paulkaplanmusic.com.
