I Washed My Face In the Morning Dew
The first strange town I was ever in
The county, was hangin' a man
And nobody cared, if he lived or he 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 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, that I was in
Was settled, peaceful, and nice
The rich got richer, and the poor, got poorer
And to me it 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
Now, someday, times are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice, that 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
The county, was hangin' a man
And nobody cared, if he lived or he 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 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, that I was in
Was settled, peaceful, and nice
The rich got richer, and the poor, got poorer
And to me it 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
Now, someday, times are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice, that 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
