Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner - I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew lyrics

The first strange town I was ever in
The county was hangin' a man
And nobody cared if he lived or he
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 laughing 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 didn't seem right

So I washed my face in the morning dew

Now someday times are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice that 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
