I recall hearing a song about a shirt that starts out as a shirt, but in each verse it gets reused for something else. Needing a song for Earth Day, and woke up thinking about this song, but have no more details. Can anyone help jog my memory? Thanks, Flannelshirt |

I sing it as I Had an Old Coat. Mary-Chapin Carpenter wrote a lovely song called "This Shirt", which speaks of using a shirt for many things. -Joe Offer- |
