Washed My Hands In Muddy Stonewall Jackson
I was [D]born - - in Macon, [A7]Georgia
They kept my dad - - in the Macon [D]jail
Dad said "Son, if you [D7]keep your [G]hands clean
Y[D]ou won't hear them b[A7]loodhounds on your t[D]rail"
B[D]ut I fell in - - with bad comp[A7]anions
We robbed a man - - in Tenne[D]ssee
The sheriff caught me - - way [D7]up in [G]Nashville
They l[D]ocked me up and t[A7]hrew away the [D]key
Chorus:
I w[D]ashed my hands - - in muddy w[A7]ater
I washed my hands - - but they didn't come [D]clean
I tried to do - - like [D7]Daddy [G]told me
But I m[D]ust have washed my h[A7]ands in a muddy s[D]tream
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
