Patty Loveless - Two Coats (Mountain Soul)

(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

I found this while seeking Stanley Brothers tunes,never heard the tune before. This singer has the same sort of sincerity that the Stanleys had. There are two other versions posted, both gifted with better voices and better picking, but no better when it comes to gospel soulfulness, if you ask me.

Thanks for your comment. I think a lot of people have heard Patti Loveless' version, which is much more "musical" than the Stanley Brothers original.
