Hall Tom T:I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew

G C G
The first strange town I was ever in,
D G
the county was hangin' a man.
C G
Nobody cared if he lived or died
D G
and I just didn't understand.

Chorus:
C G
So I washed my face in the morning dew,
C G
bathed my soul in the sun;
C G
Washed my face in the morning dew,
D G
and kept on movin' along.

Verse 2:
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. (Chorus)

Verse 3:
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 just didn't seem right. (Chorus)

Verse 4:
Some day things are bound to change,
it can't be very far;
and each injustice I have seen
will come before the bar.

End Chorus:
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew,
bathe my soul in the sun.
Wash my face in the morning dew,
and keep on movin' along.


Alternate last line:
and my journey will be done.
