Generate meaning
1
I was born in Macon, Georgia
2
They kept my dad in the Macon jail
3
Dad said son if you keep your hands clean
4
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail
5
But I fell in with bad companions
6
We robbed a man in Tennessee
7
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville
8
They locked me up and threw away the key
9
I asked the jailor when's my time up
10
He said son we won't forget
11
And if you try to keep your hands clean
12
We may make a good man of you yet
13
I couldn't wait to do my sentence
14
I broke out of the Nashville jail
15
I just crossed the line of Georgia
16
And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail
17
I washed my hands in muddy water
18
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean
19
I tried to do like Daddy told me
20
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
21
Yes I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
