I was home in Macon, Georgia
                                       D7                         G 
They kept my Daddy     in the Macon jail
                                                                 C 
He said, "Son, if you keep your hands clean, uh huh
 G                                       D7                                   G 
You won't hear those bloodhounds on your trail"
I fell in with bad companions
 E7                       A                                             E 
    I asked the jailer, said "When's my time up?"
                           E7                                         A 
He said "Son,   you know we won't forget
                                                                     D 
And if you try and just keep your hands clean, uh huh
         A                                   E7                           A 
Why we may just make a good man of you yet"
But I didn't wait to get my time in

    I washed my hands in muddy water
                                       F7                                         Bb 
I washed my hands,     but they didn't come clean
                                                         Eb 
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
     Bb                                   F7                             Bb 
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
