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 [Incomprehensible] |
|
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 |
|
Oh yeah |
|
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 you? |
|
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 |
