But I fell in with bad companions We robbed a man in Tennessee The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville They locked me up and threw away the key. I washed my hands in muddy water I washed my hands but they didn't come clean I tried to do what daddy told me But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream. --- Instrumental --- I asked the jailor I said when's my time up He said son you know we won't forget And if you try to keep your hands clean We may make a good man of you yet. I couldn't wait to get my timming I broke out of that Nashville jail I just crossed the line of Georgia And I can hear the bloodhounds on my trail. I washed my hands in muddy water I washed my hands but they didn't come clean I tried to do what daddy told me But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream...
