I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
Composição de (Joe Babcock)
G                   D7 
I was born in Macon Georgia 

                              G 
They kept my dad in the Macon jail 

             G7               C 
Dad said Son if you keep your hands clean 

G                   D7                  G 
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail 


                       D7 
But I fell in with bad companions 

                     G 
We robbed a man in Tennessee 

                      G7        C 
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville 

     G                D7             G 
They locked me up and threw away the key 

  
                           D7 
I washed my hands in muddy water 

                                       G 
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean 

              G7              C 
I tried to do like Daddy told me 

      G                   D7               G 
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream 

  
                             D7   
I asked the jailor When's my time up 

                     G 
He said son we won't forget 

               G7           C 
And if you try to keep your hands clean 

G             D7              G 
We may make a good man of you yet 


                         D7 
I couldn't wait to do my sentence 

                             G  
I broke out of the Nashville jail 

               G7          C  
I just crossed the line of Georgia 

      G             D7                G 
And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail 


                      D7 
But I fell in with bad companions 

                     G 
We robbed a man in Tennessee 

                      G7        C 
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville 

     G                D7             G 
They locked me up and threw away the key
