Stonewall Jackson — I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water

    	    	Вступление

G                     D7  
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                     D7                    G  
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail 
 
                        D7  
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                  D7               G  
They locked me up and threw away the key 
  
                            D7  
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                     D7                 G  
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream 
  
                              D7    
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               D7                G  
We may make a good man of you yet 
 
                          D7  
I couldn't wait to do my sentence 
                              G   
I broke out of the Nashville jail 
                G7            C   
I just crossed the line of Georgia 
       G               D7                  G  
And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail
