Steve Winwood - I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water Lyrics



Steve Winwood - I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water Lyrics




I was born in macon, georgia, met my dad in a macon jail

He said, "son, if you keep your hands clean

You wont 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 didnt 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 times up, he said, "son, we wont forget

If you try to keep your hands clean

We may make a good man of you yet."



I couldnt 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)
