I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
by Stonewall Jackson 
 
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
 
Chorus
                           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
 
Repeat chorus
