Two coats were before me the old and the new, 
                        G           C 
I asked my sweet master what must I do. 
 
The old coat was ugly so tatern and torn, 
                       G          C 
The other a new on had never been worn. 
 
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do, 
                            G          C 
I took off the old coat and put on the new.

The first man was earthly and made from the ground, 
                          G            C 
We bore all his image the whole world around. 
 
The next was my savior from heaven so fair, 
                                G          C 
He brought me this new coat you now see me wear. 
 
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do, 
                            G          C 
I took off the old coat and put on the new. 
 
 
Now this coat it suits me and keeps me so warm, 
                             G           C 
It's good in the winter it's good in the storm. 
                        
My savior has dress me in a garlin so rare, 
                                G          C           
He brought me this new coat you now see me wear. 
 
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do, 
                            G          C 
I took off the old coat and put on the new. 
 
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do,
