(Traditional, Arranged By: Emory Gordy, Jr., Patty Loveless) 





Two coats were before me

And 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
