Dolly Parton - I Washed My Face In The Morning Den lyrics

Duet with Porter Wagoner Writer Tom T. Hall Copyright 1967 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... 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... 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 bathe my soul in the sun Wash my face in the morning dew and my journey will be done
