Mel Tillis "I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew" |
(Tom T. Hall) The first strange town I was ever in The county was hanging a man Nobody cared if he lived or died And I just didn't understand. So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on moving along. The second strange town I was ever in They were laughing at a poor crippled man Begging for nickels and dimes on the street And I just didn't understand. So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on moving along. The third strange town I was ever in Seemed settled peaceful and nice The rich got richer and the poor got poorer And to me that didn't seem right. So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on moving along. Someday times are bound to change It can't be very far And each injustice I have seen Will come before the bar. Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew Bathe my soul in the sun Wash my face in the morning dew And my journey will be done... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
