Elvis I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water Lyrics

I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water Lyrics

Well I fell in with bad companions 

 Robbed a man  oh up in Tennessee 

 They caught me way up in Nashville 

 They locked me up and threw away the key 

  

 I washed my hands in muddy water 

 Washed my hands  but they didn't come clean 

 Tried to do what my daddy told me 

 But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream 

  

 Well I asked the judge now when's my time up 

 He said son, oh you know we won't forget 

 If you try just to keep your hands clean 

 We might just make a good man of you yet 

  

 Oh I couldn't wait to get my time up 

 I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail 

 I just crossed the state-line of Georgia 

 Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail 

  

 I washed my hands in muddy water 

 Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean 

 Tried to do what my daddy told me 

 But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream 

  

  

 Never Been to Spain 

 (words & music by Hoyt Axton) 

 Well I've never been to Spain 

 But I kind of like the music 

 Say the ladies are insane there 

 And they sure know how to use it 

 The don't abuse it 

 Never gonna loose it 

 I can't refuse it 

  

 Well, I've never been to England 

 But I kind of like the Beatles 

 So I headed for Las Vegas 

 Only made it out to Lido's 

 Can you feel it 

 Must be weary 

 Oh so good... oh feel so good 

  

 Well I've never been to heaven 

 But I've been in Oklahoma 

 Well, they tell me I was born there 

 But I really don't remember 

 In Oklahoma or Arizona 

 What does it matter 

 What does it matter
