0:16All the girls all dance with the boys from the city
0:20And they don't care to dance with me
0:24Now it ain't my fault that the fields are muddy
0:28And the red clay stains my feet
0:33And it's under my nails
0:35And it's under my collar
0:37And it shows on my sunday clothes
0:41Though I do my best with the soap and the water
0:45But the d**ned old dirt won't go
0:50But when I pass through the pearly gate
0:54Will my gown be gold instead
0:58Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
1:02And a red clay halo for my head
1:15Now it's mud in the spring
1:17And it's dust in the summer
1:19When it blows in a crimson tide
1:23Until trees and leaves
1:25And the cows are the colour
1:27Of the dirt on the mountainside
1:32But when I pass through the pearly gate
1:36Will my gown be gold instead
1:40Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
1:45And a red clay halo for my head
2:14Now Jordan's banks they're red and muddy
2:18And the rolling water is wide
2:22But I got no boat
2:24So I'll be good and muddy
2:26When I get to the other side
2:31And when I pass through the pearly gate
2:35Will my gown be gold instead
2:39Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
2:43And a red clay halo for my head
2:47I'll take the red clay robe
2:50With the red clay wings
2:52And a red clay halo for my head
All the girls all dance with the boys from the city
And they don't care to dance with me
Now it ain't my fault that the fields are muddy
And the red clay stains my feet
And it's under my nails
And it's under my collar
And it shows on my sunday clothes
Though I do my best with the soap and the water
But the d**ned old dirt won't go
But when I pass through the pearly gate
Will my gown be gold instead
Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
And a red clay halo for my head
Now it's mud in the spring
And it's dust in the summer
When it blows in a crimson tide
Until trees and leaves
And the cows are the colour
Of the dirt on the mountainside
But when I pass through the pearly gate
Will my gown be gold instead
Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
And a red clay halo for my head
Now Jordan's banks they're red and muddy
And the rolling water is wide
But I got no boat
So I'll be good and muddy
When I get to the other side
And when I pass through the pearly gate
Will my gown be gold instead
Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
And a red clay halo for my head
I'll take the red clay robe
With the red clay wings
And a red clay halo for my head
