Muddy Water:Johnny Rivers.
#19 in '66.
#1.
D A
I was down in Macon Georgia.
D
They kept my daddy over in Macon jail.
G
He told me if you keep your hands clean.
D A D
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail.
#2.
D A
Well, I fell in with bad companions.
D
Robbed a mail train up in Tennessee.
G
They caught me way up in Nashville.
D A D
and they locked me up and threw away the key.
CHORUS:
D A
I washed my hands in muddy water.
D
I washed my hands, but they didn't come clean.
G
I tried to do what my daddy told me..
D A D
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream.
#3.
D A
Well, I asked the jailer, now, when's my time up?
D
He said son, you know we won't forget.
G
If you try just to keep your hands clean.
D A D
We might just make a good man of you yet.
#4.
E B
Oh, I couldn't wait to get my time in.
E
I broke out of the Nashville jail.
A
I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia,
E B E
and I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail.
CHORUS:(x2)
E B
I washed my hands in muddy water.
E
I washed my hands, but they didn't come clean.
A
I tried to do what my daddy told me..
E B E
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
