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 strange town that I was in they were laughin' 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...

|
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...
|
|
Someday times are bound to change it can't be very far
|
And each injustice I have seen will come before the bar
|
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew bathe my soul in the sun
|
Wash my face in the morning dew and my journey will be done
