[E] [A] [E] [A]
I was born in Bacon, [E] Georgia.
They kept my dad in the Bacon [A] jail.
They told me if you keep [D] your hands clean,
[A] you won't hear [E] the bloodhounds on [A] your trail.
Well, I fell in with bad [E] companions.
I robbed a man in [A] Tennessee.
They caught me way up [D] in Nashville.
[A] Locked me [E] up and threw [A] away the key.
Washed my hands in muddy [E] water.
Washed my hands, but they didn't [A] come clean.
Tried to do like my daddy [D] told me,
[A] but I must have washed [E] my hands in a muddy [A] stream.
[E] [A]
I couldn't wait to get my [E] time done,
so I broke out of the Nashville [A] jail.
And I just crossed the state line [D] to Georgia,
[A] and I can't hear [E] the bloodhounds on [A] my trail.
Washed my hands in muddy [E] water.
Washed my hands, but they didn't [A] come clean.
I tried to do like my daddy [D] told me,
but [A] I must have washed [E] my hands in a muddy [A] stream.
Yes, I must have washed [E] my hands in a muddy [A] stream.
