作词 : STEWART, ROD (Rod Stewart) 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' windNow listen Have you perished in the drizzling rain Tried to light ... a lift but all in vainWith your sock on your head and that old coat on your backto keep you from the drizzlin' rain oh to keep you from the drizzlin' rainGoodbyeOne more time Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowedLaid 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 awayI know And did you ride a lift on a steam trainNow listen Had the misfortune not to pay your fareThrown off the next stop Thrown in the doorway of a shopWith that coat to keep you from the wind Oh that old school coat to keep you from the windAnd that ain't all Have you had some good friends on the road with ya who'd stand by you through thick and thinHere's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len And that coat which never lets you downIt never, never, never lets you down It never, never, never lets you downThat 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
