A Hundred Pounds Of Clay Lyrics - Gene Mcdaniels

A Hundred Pounds Of Clay 

Gene McDaniels 

Highest chart position # 3 in 1961 

Written by Bob Elgin, Luther Dixon, and Kay Roger 

He took a hundred pounds of clay 

And they He said "Hey, listen" 

"I'm gonna fix this-a world today" 

"Because I know what's missin' " 

Then He rolled his big sleeves up 

And a brand-new world began 

He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man 

Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did 

With just a hundred pounds of clay 

He made my life worth livin' 

And I will thank Him every day 

For every kiss you're givin' 

And I'll thank Him every night 

For the arms that are holdin' me tight 

And He did it all with just a hundred pounds of clay 

Yes he did, whoa-oh, yes He did 

Now can'tcha just see Him a-walkin' 'round and 'round 

Pickin' the clay uppa off the ground? 

Doin' just what He should do 

To make a livin' dream like you 

He rolled His big sleeves up 

And a brand-new world began 

He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man 

Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did 

With just a hundred pounds of clay 

FADE 

People, let me tall ya what He did 

With just a hundred pounds of clay
