I Washed My Face in The Morning Dew — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

The first strange town I was ever in

The county was hangin a man

Nobody cared if he lived or died

And I just didnt understand



(chorus)

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 movin 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 didnt understand



(chorus)

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 didnt seem right



(chorus)



Some day things are bound to change

It cant be very far

And each injustice I have seen

Will come before the bar



Then Ill 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
