Elvis Presley
i washed my hands in muddy water
I was born in Macon GeorgiaThey kept my daddy over in Macon jail
He told me if you keep your hands clean
You won?t hear them bloodhounds on your trail
Well I fell in with bad companions
Robbed a man, oh up in Tennessee
They caught me way up in Nashville
They locked me up and threw away the key
I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, but they didn?t come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
Well I asked the judge now when?s my time up
He said son, oh you know we won?t forget
If you try just to keep your hands clean
We might just make a good man of you yet
Oh I couldn?t wait to get my time up
I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail
I just crossed the state-line of Georgia
Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
I washed my hands in muddy water
Washed my hands, but they didn?t come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
