I was home in Macon, Georgia
They kept my Daddy in the Macon jail
DOHe said, "Son, if you keep your hands clean, uh huh
SOL RE7 SOLYou won't hear those bloodhounds on your trail"
Verse 2:
I fell in with bad companions
I robbed a man up in Tennessee
And I got caught way up in Nashville, uh huh now
And they locked me up and threw away the key
CHORUS (same pattern as above 2 verses):
I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didn't come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
Verse 3:
MI7 LA MII asked the jailer, said "When's my time up?"
MI7 LAHe said "Son, you know we won't forget
And if you try and just keep your hands clean, uh huh
LA MI7 LAWhy we may just make a good man of you yet"
Verse 4:
But I didn't wait to get my time in
I broke down, broke out the Nashville jail
I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia, oh now
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
(chorus; same pattern as above 2 verses)
