The Old Robe and the New Oh, the best thing in my life I ever did do, Oh, the best thing in my life I ever did do, Oh, the best thing in my life I ever did do Was take off the old robe and put on the new. Oh, the old robe was dirty, all tattered and torn; And the new robe was spotless and never-been-worn. Oh, the best thing in my life I ever did do, Was taking off the old robe and put on the new.
