Well I was born in Macon, Georgia They kept my Daddy in the Macon jail He said, "son, if you keep your hands clean You wont hear those bloodhounds on your trail" Well I fell in with bad companions I robbed a man up in Tennessee They caught me way up in Nashville They locked me up and threw away the key Well I washed off my hands in muddy water I washed off my hands, but they didn't come clean I tried to do like my daddy told me I must have washed off my hands in a muddy stream I asked the jailer, I said "now when's my time up?" He said "son, no we won't forget And if you try and just keep your hands clean We may just make a good man of you yet" I couldn't wait to get my time in I broke out, broke out the Nashville jail I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail I washed off my hands in muddy water I washed off my hands, but they didn't come clean I tried to do like my daddy told me I must have washed off my hands in a muddy stream
