I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water Lyrics

Well I was born in Macon Georgia they kept my dad in the Macon jail

Now my daddy said son if you keep your hands clean

You won't hear those bloodhounds on your trail

But I fell in with bad companions we robbed a bank in Tennessee

The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville they locked
me up and threw away the key

Well I washed my hands in muddy water

I washed my hands but they didn't come clean

I tried to do what daddy told meWarner Mack - I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water - http://motolyrics.com/warner-mack/i-washed-my-hands-in-muddy-water-lyrics.html

But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I asked the jailor now when's my time up he said son we won't forget

And if you try hard to keep your hands clean

Well we may make a good man of you yet

I couldn't wait to do my sentence I broke out of that Nashville jail

Now I just crossed the line of Georgia and I can hear
those bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands...
