steve winwood - i washed my hands in muddy water lyrics

Loading...

i was born in macon, georgia, met my dad in a macon jail
he said, “son, if you keep your hands clean
you won’t have them bloodhounds on your trail”

i fell in with bad companions, robbed a man in tennessee
sheriff caught me way up in nashville
and they locked me up and they threw away the key

refrain:
i washed my hands in muddy water
i washed my hands but they didn’t come clean
tried to do what my daddy told me
but i must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

i asked the jailer when my time’s up, he said, “son, we won’t forget
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 those bloodhounds on my trail

refrain (2 times)
