I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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 some day 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
