RED CLAY HALO            CAPO IV      C5   G5   C5 
 
C5 
Well the girls all dance, with the boys from the city 
                                  G5  
But they don't care to dance with me 
C5                 
Well it ain't my fault, that the fields are muddy 
                 G5         C5   hold 4 extra C?unts 
And the red clay stains my feet 
 

C5 
It's under my nails, and it's under my collar, 
                          G5  
And it shows on my Sunday clothes 
C5                 
Though I do my best with soap and water, 
                G5          C5   hold 4 extra C?unts 
That dammed old dirt won't go  
 

F5                           C5  
But when I pass through the pearly gates 
G5                       C5  
Will my gown be gold instead 
F5                                C5 
Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings 
               G5           C5    hold 4 extra C?unts 
And a red clay halo for my head  
 
Inst. = verse  
 

C5 
It's mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer 
                         G5  
When it rolls in crimson tide 
C5                 
Til the trees and leaves and the cows are the colour 
                   G5        C5   hold 4 extra C?unts 
Of the dirt on the mountain side 
 
Chorus 

 
C5 
Now Jordan's banks are red and muddy, 
                        G5  
And the rollin water is wide 
C5                 
But I got no boat, 
C5                 
So I'll be good and muddy 
                 G5      C5   hold 4 extra C?unts 
When I get to the other side 
 
Chorus 

Last two lines :- 

I'll take a red clay robe and red clay wings 

And a red clay halo for my head
