I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
Recorded by Stonewall Jackson 
Written by Joe Babcock
 
 G                     D7 
I was born in Macon Georgia
                               G 
They kept my dad in the Macon jail
              G7                 C 
Dad said Son if you keep your hands clean
 G                     D7                    G 
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail

                        D7 
But I fell in with bad companions
                      G 
We robbed a man in Tennessee
                       G7          C 
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville
      G                  D7               G 
They locked me up and threw away the key
 
                            D7 
I washed my hands in muddy water
                                        G 
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean
               G7                C 
I tried to do like Daddy told me
       G                     D7                 G 
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
 
                              D7   
I asked the jailor When's my time up
                      G 
He said son we won't forget
                G7             C 
And if you try to keep your hands clean
 G               D7                G 
We may make a good man of you yet

                          D7 
I couldn't wait to do my sentence
                              G  
I broke out of the Nashville jail
                G7            C  
I just crossed the line of Georgia
       G               D7                  G 
And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail
