Red Clay Halo

Letra de Red Clay Halo

Oh 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 feetAnd it's under my nails and it's under my collar And it shows on my Sunday clothes Oh I do my best with the soap and the water But the damned old dirt won't goBut when I pass through the pearly gates Will my gown be gold instead Or just a red clay robe With red clay wings And a red clay halo for my headNow it's mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer When it blows in a crimson tide Until the trees and the leaves and the cows are the colour Of the dirt on the mountainsideBut when I pass through the pearly gates Will my gown be gold instead Or just a red clay robe With red clay wings And a red clay halo for my headNow 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 sideAnd when I pass through the pearly gates Will my gown be gold instead Or just a red clay robe With red clay wings And a red clay halo for my headI'll take a red clay robe With the red clay wings And a red clay halo for my head
