 Lyrics and music by Joseph T. Babcock
       D                  A7
 I was born - - in Macon, Georgia
                                   D
 They kept my dad - - in the Macon jail
                       D7        G
 Dad said "Son, if you keep your hands clean
  D                   A7                  D
 You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail"
  D                             A7 
 But I fell in - - with bad companions
                             D
 We robbed a man - - in Tennessee
                               D7    G
 The sheriff caught me - - way up in Nashville
       D                A7            D
 They locked me up and threw away the key
 
 Chorus:
    D                            A7
 I washed my hands - - in muddy water
                                            D
 I washed my hands - - but they didn't come clean
                        D7    G
 I tried to do - - like Daddy told me
        D                   A7               D
 But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
 
 
 I asked the jailor - - "When's my time up?"
 He said "Son - - 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 do my sentence
 I broke out of the Nashville jail
 I just crossed - - the line of Georgia
 And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail
 
 Repeat chorus

 Yes I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
