I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Tom T. Hall

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 3:]
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 just didn't seem right
