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.

C
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,
                            G          C
I took off the old coat and put on the new.
