Lyrics
Long Black Coat
Music & Lyrics © 2004 carrie clark
He wears a long black coat when it rains to keep him dry
He wears a long black coat when it rains to hide from the sky
She wears a red velvet scarf when the snow falls in May
She wears a red velvet scarf to give her comfort from the day
* He wears a ten gallon hat to fill with his ten million tears
He still cries when he thinks of her even though its been so many years
He carries a cross to his chest even when he doesn?t believe
He carries a cross to his chest to take away his grief
She wears a long yellow ribbon tied tightly in her hair
She wears a long yellow ribbon so her soldier knows she cares
* He wears a ten gallon hat to fill with his ten million tears
He still cries when he thinks of her even though it?s been so many years
He wears a long black coat when it rains to keep him dry
