I Washed My Face In the Morning Dew

Lyrics

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
 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
 Bathe my soul, in the sun
 Wash my face, in the morning dew
 And my journey, will be done
