Red Clay Halo

CAPO IV C   G   C


C
Well the girls all dance, with the 
boys from the city
                                  G
But they don't care to dance with me
C
Well it ain't my fault, that the 
fields are muddy
                 G         C   hold 
4 extra counts
And the red clay stains my feet

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

F                           C
But when I pass through the pearly 
gates
G                       C
Will my gown be gold instead
F                                
Or just a red clay robe with red 
C
clay wings
               G           C    hold
 4 extra counts
And a red clay halo for my head

Inst. = verse

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

Chorus

C
Now Jordan's banks are red and 
muddy,
                        G
And the rollin water is wide
C
But I got no boat,
C
So I'll be good and muddy
                 G      C   hold 4 
extra counts
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
