(Tom T. Hall)      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   Bathed my soul in the sun   Washed my face in the morning dew   And kept on moving along.      --- Instrumental ---      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   Bathed my soul in the sun   Washed my face in the morning dew   And kept on moving along.      Now someday 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   Bathed my soul in the sun   Wash my face in the morning dew   And my journey will be done...
