Did you ever stand and shiver
|
while looking at a freezing river
|
Have you froze to the bone
|
with just a coat to keep you warm
|
to keep you from a howlin' wind
|
to keep you from a howlin' wind
|
Now listen
|
|
Have you perished in the drizzling rain
|
Tried to light... a lift but all in vain
|
With your sock on your head
|
and that old coat on your back
|
to keep you from the drizzlin' rain
|
oh to keep you from the drizzlin' rain
|
Goodbye
|
|
One more time
|
|
Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed
|
Laid your head on a.....
|
With the Times on your face
|
and that old coat on your back
|
That kept you from a-withering away good God
|
It just kept you from a-withering away
|
|
I know
|
|
And did you ride a lift on a steam train
|
Now listen
|
Had the misfortune not to pay your fare
|
Thrown off the next stop
|
Thrown in the doorway of a shop
|
With that coat to keep you from the wind
|
Oh that old school coat to keep you from the wind
|
And that ain't all
|
|
Have you had some good friends on the road with ya
|
who'd stand by you through thick and thin
|
Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len
|
And that coat which never lets you down
|
It never, never, never lets you down
|
It never, never, never lets you down
|
That old coat which never lets you down
|
That old coat which never lets you down
|
Kept me from the drizzlin' rain
|
And oh, kept me from the drizzlin' rain
|

An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down
