Liz Anderson - I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew lyrics

rate me

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 moving along

The second strange town I was in they were laughin' at a poor crippled man

Begging for nickels and dimes on the street and I just didn't understand

So I washed my face in the morning dew...

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

So I washed my face in the morning dew...

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 I'll wash my face in the morning dew...
