[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 didnt 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 didnt 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 didnt seem right [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 4] Some day things are bound to change It cant be very far And each injustice I have seen Will come before the bar [Chorus] Then Ill wash my face in the morning dew Bathe my soul in the sun Wash my face in the morning dew And keep on movin along
