Текст (слова) песни: Elvis Presley - I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water
(words & music by Joe Babcock) I was born in Macon Georgia They kept my daddy over in Macon jail He told me if you keep your hands clean You won`t hear them bloodhounds on your trail
Well I fell in with bad companions Robbed a man, oh up in Tennessee They caught me way up in Nashville They locked me up and threw away the key
I washed my hands in muddy water 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
Well I asked the judge now when`s my time up He said son, oh you know we won`t forget If you try just to keep your hands clean We might just make a good man of you yet
Oh I couldn`t wait to get my time up I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail I just crossed the state-line of Georgia Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
I washed my hands in muddy water 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
