[Intro]
G D C G
[Verse 1]
G D I was born in Macon Georgia G They kept my dad in the Macon jail G7 C Dad said Son if you keep your hands clean G D G You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail D But I fell in with bad companions G We robbed a man in Tennessee G7 C The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville G D G They locked me up and threw away the key
[Chorus]
D I washed my hands in muddy water G I washed my hands but they didn't come clean G7 C I tried to do like Daddy told me G D G But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

D I asked the jailor When's my time up G He said son we won't forget G7 C And if you try to keep your hands clean G D G We may make a good man of you yet

D I couldn't wait to do my sentence G So I broke out of the Nashville jail G7 C Well I just crossed the line of Georgia G D G And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail
