I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew
The first strange town I was ever in the county was hanging a manNobody cared if he lived or died and I just didn't understandSo I washed my face in the morning dew bathed my soul in the sunWashed my face in the morning dew and kept on moving alongThe second strange town I was ever in they were laughing at a poor crippled manBegging for nickels and dimes on the street and I just didn't understandSo I washed my faceThe third strange town I was ever in seemed settled peaceful and niceThe rich got richer and the poor got poorer and to me that didn't seem rightSo I washed my faceSomeday times are bound to change it can't be very farAnd each injustice I have seen will come before the barThen I'll wash my face in the morning dew bathe my soul in the sunWash my face in the morning dew and my journey will be done From Letras Mania
