I Washed My Face In The Morning Den — текст песни (Dolly Parton)

Duet with Porter Wagoner
Writer Tom T. Hall

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...
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...
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
