Karaoké Muddy Water Johnny Rivers

I was home in Macon Georgia

They kept my Daddy in the Macon jail

He said Son

If you keep your hands clean

Uh huh

Ah you won't hear those bloodhounds on your trail

I fell in ah with bad companions

I robbed a man up in Tennessee

And I got caught ah way up in Nashville

Uh huh now

Where they locked me up and they threw away the key

I washed my hands in muddy water

I washed my hands ah but they didn't come clean

I tried to do ah like my daddy told me

Hee hee now

I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I asked the jailer

I said When's my time up

He said Son you know we won't forget uh

And if you try and just a-keep your hands clean

Uh huh

Why we may just make a good man of you yet

But I couldn't wait to get my time in

I broke out

Broke out the Nashville jail

I just crossed in Atlanta Georgia ho ho now

And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands hey in muddy water

I washed my hands but they didn't come clean

I tried to do ah like my daddy told me

Hee hee now

I felt I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I washed my hands hey in muddy water

I washed my hands but they didn't come clean

I tried to do ah what my daddy told me

Hee hee now

But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

Oh Lord I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I guess I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
