The first strange town I was ever in The county was hangin' a man Nobody cared if he lived or died And I just didn't 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
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
(chorus) 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 didn't seem right
(chorus)
Some day things are bound to change It can't be very far And each injustice 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 keep on movin' along
