[00:15.89]And the girls all dance with the boys from the city
[00:19.94]And they don’t care to dance with me
[00:24.29]Now it ain’t my fault that the fields are muddy
[00:28.37]And the red clay stains my feet
[00:32.48]And it’s under my nails, and it’s under my collar
[00:36.58]And it shows on my Sunday clothes
[00:41.10]Though I do my best with the soap and the water
[00:45.33]But the damned old dirt won’t go
[00:49.87]But when I pass through the pearly gate
[00:54.06]Will my gown be gold instead?
[00:57.96]Or just a red clay robe with a red clay wings
[01:02.71]And a red clay halo for my head?
[01:06.81]
[01:08.83]
[01:15.14]Now it’s mud in the spring and it’s dust in the summer
[01:19.02]When it blows in a crimson tide
[01:23.07]Until trees and the leaves, and the cows are the colour
[01:27.51]Of the dirt on the mountainside
[01:32.15]But when I pass through the pearly gate
[01:36.18]Will my gown be gold instead?
[01:40.03]Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
[01:44.89]And a red clay halo for my head?
[01:56.01]
[02:13.76]Now Jordan’s banks, they’re red and muddy
[02:18.06]And the rolling water is wide
[02:22.41]But I got no boat, so I’ll be good and muddy
[02:26.68]When I get to the other side
[02:31.07]And when I pass through the pearly gate
[02:34.89]Will my gown be gold instead?
[02:38.91]Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings
[02:43.70]And a red clay halo for my head?
[02:47.42]I’ll take the red clay robe with the red clay wings
[02:52.29]And a red clay halo for my head
[02:58.86]Thank you, take a little break
[03:00.22]Be right back
