3
I was born in Macon Georgia they kept my dad in the Macon jail
4
Dad said son if you keep your hands clean
5
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail
6
But I fell in with bad companions we robbed a man in Tennessee
7
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville they locked me up and threw away the key
8
I washed my hands in muddy water I washed my hands but they didn't come clean
9
I tried to do what daddy told me but I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
10
I asked the jailor I said when's my time up he said son we won't forget
11
And if you try to keep your hands clean we may make a good man of you yet
12
I couldn't wait to get my timming I broke out of that Nashville jail
13
I just crossed the line of Georgia and I can hear the bloodhounds on my trail
14
I washed my hands...
