The first strange town I was ever in the county was hanging a man
Nobody cared if he lived or 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 town I was in they were laughing at a poor crippled man
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street and I didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew...
[ guitar - banjo ]
The third strange town that I was in was settled so peaceful and nice
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer to me it didn't seem right
So I washed my face in the morning dew...
Someday times are bound to change it can't be very far
And each injustice I have seen will come before the bar
So I washed my face in the morning dew...
