DOLLY PARTON - I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew lyrics

rate me

(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 in the morning dew

Bathed my soul in the sun

Washed my face in the morning dew

And kept on moving along.

--- Instrumental ---

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 in the morning dew

Bathed my soul in the sun

Washed my face in the morning dew

And kept on moving along.

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

Bathed my soul in the sun

Wash my face in the morning dew

And my journey will be done...
