[]All 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 []feet.

And it's []under my nails and it's under my collar,
And it shows on my Sunday []clothes.
Though I []do my best with the soap and the water,
But the darned old []dirt won't []go.

{soc}
But []when I pass through the []pearly gate,
Will my []gown be gold in[]stead?
Or just a []red clay robe with []red clay wings,
  [

Now it's []mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer,
When it blows in a crimson []tide.
Until []trees and leaves and the cows are the colour,
Of the dirt on the []mountain[G]side.

{soc}
But []when I pass through the []pearly gate,
Will my []gown be gold in[]stead?
Or just a []red clay robe with []red clay wings,
  [ 
{eoc}

Now []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 []side.

{soc}
But []when I pass through the []pearly gate,
Will my []gown be gold in[]stead?
Or just a []red clay robe with []red clay wings,
  [ 
{eoc}

I'll take the []red clay robe with the []red clay wings,
