I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water |
| I was born in Macon Georgia they kept my dad in the Macon jail |
| Dad said son if you keep your hands clean |
| You won’t hear them bloodhounds on your trail |
| But I fell in with bad companions we robbed a man in Tennessee |
| The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville they locked me up and threw away the |
| key |
| I washed my hands in muddy water I washed my hands but they didn’t come clean |
| I tried to do what daddy told me but I must have washed my hands in a muddy |
| stream |
| I asked the jailor I said when’s my time up he said son we won’t forget |
| And if you try to keep your hands clean we may make a good man of you yet |
| I couldn’t wait to get my timming I broke out of that Nashville jail |
| I just crossed the line of Georgia and I can hear the bloodhounds on my trail |
| I washed my hands… |
