I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Composer(s): Tom T. Hall First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
The first strange town I was ever in The county was hangin' 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 movin' along
The second strange town that I was in They were laughin' at a poor crippled man Beggin' 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 movin' 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 movin' 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 Then my journey will be done
