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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
