D Em A7 DIf I get there before the snow flies, and if things are going good Em A7You could meet me if I sent you down the fare D Em A7 DBut by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do Em G A7And those winds sure can blow cold way out there.

I was [G] born in Macon [D7] Georgia
Met my dad in the Macon [G] jail
Daddy said son [G7] if you keep your [C] hands clean [Am/C]
[G] You won't hear them [D7] bloodhounds on your [G] trail
But I fell [G] in with bad com[D7]panions
Robbed a man up in Tenne[G]ssee
Sheriff caught [G7] me way up in [C] Nashville [Am/C]
They [G] locked me up and they [D7] threw away the [G] key
I washed my [G] hands in muddy [D7] water
I washed my hands but they didn't come [G] clean
I tried to do [G7] like my daddy [C] told me [Am/C]
But I [G] must have washed my [D7] hands in a muddy [G] stream
I asked the [G] jailer when my [D7] times up
He said son we won't for[G]get
But if you [G] try [G7] to keep your [C] hands clean [Am/C]
[G] We may make a [D7] good man of you [G] yet
I couldn't [G] wait to serve my [D7] sentence
I broke out of that Nashville [G] jail
And I [G] crossed [G7] that line of [C] Georgia [Am/C]
And [G] I can hear the [D7] bloodhounds on my [G] trail
I washed my [G] hands in muddy [D7] water
I washed my hands but they didn't come [G] clean
I tried to do [G7] like my daddy [C] told me [Am/C]
But I [G] must have washed my [D7] hands in a muddy [G] stream
