[length: 03:18]
[00:11.66]All the girls all dance with the boys from the city
[00:16.21]And they don’t care to dance with me
[00:21.09]Now it ain’t my fault that the fields are muddy
[00:25.63]And the red clay stains my feet
[00:30.32]And it’s under my nails, and it’s under my collar
[00:35.27]And it shows on my Sunday clothes
[00:39.72]Though I do my best with the soap and the water
[00:44.43]But the damned old dirt won’t go
[00:49.34]But when I pass through the pearly gate
[00:53.73]Will my gown be gold instead?
[00:58.09]Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
[01:03.49]And a red clay halo for my head?
[01:06.14]
[01:17.30]Now it’s mud in the spring and it’s dust in the summer
[01:21.66]When it blows in a crimson tide
[01:26.16]Until trees and leaves and the cows are the color
[01:31.03]Of the dirt on the mountainside
[01:35.84]But when I pass through the pearly gate
[01:40.54]Will my gown be gold instead?
[01:44.62]Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
[01:49.87]And a red clay halo for my head?
[01:53.14]
[02:21.49]Now Jordan’s banks, they’re red and muddy
[02:25.80]And the rolling water is wide
[02:30.45]But I got no boat, so I’ll be good and muddy
[02:35.20]When I get to the other side
[02:39.87]And when I pass through the pearly gate
[02:44.56]Will my gown be gold instead?
[02:48.77]Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
[02:54.17]And a red clay halo for my head?
[02:58.13]I’ll take the red clay robe with the red clay wings
[03:03.40]And a red clay halo for my head
