G / / / 2 /
I was home in Macon, DGeorgia
They kept my Daddy D7 in the Macon Gjail
He said, "Son, if you keep Cyour hands clean, uh huh
GYou won't hear those D7bloodhounds on your Gtrail"
Verse 2:
I fell in with bad companions
I robbed a man up in Tennessee
And I got caught way up in Nashville, uh huh now
And they locked me up and threw away the key
CHORUS (same pattern as above 2 verses):
I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didn't come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
Verse 3:
E7 I asked the Ajailer, said "When'Es my time up'"
He said "E7;Son, you know we won'At forget
And if you try and just keep your Dhands clean, uh huh
Why Awe may just make a E7good man of you Ayet"
Verse 4:
But I didn't wait to get my time in
I broke down, broke out the Nashville jail
I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia, oh now
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
(chorus; same pattern as above 2 verses)
F7 I washed my Bbhands in muddy Fwater
I washed my hands, F7 but they didn't come Bbclean
I tried to do like my daddy Ebtold me, now
I Bbmust have washed my F7hands in a muddy Bbstream
(repeat last line twice)
