[ G ] all the girls all dance with the boys from the city ,
and they don’t care to dance with [ D ] me .
now it [ G ] ain’t my fault that the fields are muddy ,
and the red clay [ D ] stains my [ D ] feet .
and it’s [ G ] under my nails and it’s under my collar ,
and it shows on my sunday [ D ] clothes .
though i [ G ] do my best with the soap and the water ,
but the darned old [ D ] dirt won’t [ G ] go .
{soc}
but [ C ] when i pass through the [ G ] pearly gate ,
will my [ D ] gown be gold in [ G ] stead?
or just A [ C ] red clay robe with [ G ] red clay wings ,
and A [ D ] red clay halo for my [ G ] head

now it’s [ G ] mud in the spring and it’s dust in the summer ,
when it blows in a crimson [ D ] tide .
until [ G ] trees and leaves and the cows are the colour ,
of the dirt on the [ D ] mountain [ G ] side .
{soc}
but [ C ] when i pass through the [ G ] pearly gate ,
will my [ D ] gown be gold in [ G ] stead?
or just A [ C ] red clay robe with [ G ] red clay wings ,
and A [ D ] red clay halo for my [ G ] head

now [ G ] jordan’s banks they’re red and muddy ,
and the rolling water is [ D ] wide .
but i [ G ] got no boat , so i’ll be good and muddy ,
when i get to the [ D ] other [ G ] side .
{soc}
but [ C ] when i pass through the [ G ] pearly gate ,
will my [ D ] gown be gold in [ G ] stead?
or just A [ C ] red clay robe with [ G ] red clay wings ,
and A [ D ] red clay halo for my [ G ] head

i’ll take the [ C ] red clay robe with the [ G ] red clay wings ,
and A [ D ] red clay halo for my [ G ] head .
