I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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 

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 

Photos 

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
