“Two Coats” is a gospel song recorded by Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. Gospel material ran all through Stanley’s long career, alongside his secular songs.
The song works a simple parable of charity and faith. A person with two coats is called to share with one who has none; the lyric draws from that scriptural lesson a plain teaching about generosity and the open heart.
Stanley’s mountain-rooted voice gave the song its weight. The version heard here is by Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys.
