I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
Recorded by Stonewall Jackson 1965
Recorded by Johnny Rivers 1966
Lyrics and music by Joseph T. Babcock

      D                  A7
I was born - - in Macon, Georgia
                                  D
They kept my dad - - in the Macon jail
                      D7        G
Dad said "Son, if you keep your hands clean
 D                   A7                  D
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail"
 D                             A7 
But I fell in - - with bad companions
                            D
We robbed a man - - in Tennessee
                              D7    G
The sheriff caught me - - way up in Nashville
      D                A7            D
They locked me up and threw away the key

Chorus:
   D                            A7
I washed my hands - - in muddy water
                                           D
I washed my hands - - but they didn't come clean
                       D7    G
I tried to do - - like Daddy told me
       D                   A7               D
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream


I asked the jailor - - "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 do my sentence
I broke out of the Nashville jail
I just crossed - - the line of Georgia
And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail

Repeat chorus

(Tag)
Yes I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
