Old Coat
SATB with Piano
arranged by Thomas Regelski
Written by Paul Stookey, Mary Travers, and Elena Mezzetti
This beloved song as performed by Peter, Paul & Maryl laments that life for the slave, on this side of Jordan (heaven) is a “hard road†full of inequalities and lies where the only resort is to “take off your old coat, add roll up your sleeves,†for the hard work of confronting the unending struggle for truth and freedom—a slim branch, bending with the breeze.†Â
