27 May 04 - 12:53 PM (#1195173) Subject: ADD: Two Coats From: Joe Offer I was just going to post a link because I thought it was a pop/country song. Looks like I was wrong, although I'm not convinced it's really traditional. Apparently, Loveless sang it on the soundtrack of the fascinating Robert Duvall movie, The Apostle. Also recorded by Ralph Stanley, Blue Highway, and the Dry Branch Fire Squad. -Joe Offer- Two Coats (Traditional, Arranged By: Emory Gordy, Jr., 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 is 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 source: http://www.sing365.com |

Set 'em up, Joe. We'll be knockin' 'em down. Not the one you want, probably, but it's a good song. |
