Bobby Bare - I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew lyrics

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 Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on moving along. 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. 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...
