I was born in Macon GeorgiaThey kept my daddy over in Macon jailHe told me if you keep your hands cleanYou won't hear them bloodhounds on your trailWell I fell in with bad companionsRobbed a man, oh up in TennesseeThey caught me way up in NashvilleThey locked me up and threw away the keyI washed my hands in muddy waterWashed my hands, but they didn't come cleanTried to do what my daddy told meBut I must have washed my hands in a muddy streamWell I asked the judge now when's my time upHe said son, oh you know we won't forgetIf you try just to keep your hands cleanWe might just make a good man of you yetOh I couldn't wait to get my time upI broke out, broke out of Nashville jailI just crossed the state-line of GeorgiaWell I can hear those bloodhounds on my trailI washed my hands in muddy waterWashed my hands, but they didn't come cleanTried to do what my daddy told me
