Written by Joe Babcock

Recorded by Hank Snow



I was born in Macon Georgia they kept my dad in the Macon jail

Dad said son if you keep your hands clean

You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail

But I fell in with bad companions we robbed a man in Tennessee

The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville they locked me up and threw away the key

I washed my hands in muddy water I washed my hands but they didn't come clean

I tried to do what daddy told me but I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream



I asked the jailor I said when's my time up he said son we won't forget

And if you try to keep your hands clean we may make a good man of you yet

I couldn't wait to get my timming I broke out of that Nashville jail

I just crossed the line of Georgia and I can hear the bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands...

  • Rhumba Boogie
    "Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat
    There's no hesitation it's sweepin' the nation
    It's the Rhumba Boogie down the South American way
    While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga in her little cabana in old Havana..."
  • Im Movin On
    "That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
    Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
    'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
    You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky..."
  • The Golden Rocket
    "I was a good engine a-runnin' on time

  • Unwanted Sign Upon Your Heart

    Can't see, honey, why you done me wrong

    I can't sleep a wink..."
  • Music Makin Mama from Memphis
    "Listen to a story about a gal I know
    She's my music makin' mama, I'm her hillbilly beau
    She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
    Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans..."
  • The Gold Rush Is Over
    "Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
    Stake out your claim now on some other guy
    I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
    But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on..."

    "It don't hurt anymore
    All my teardrops are dried
    No more walkin' the floor
    With that burnin' inside..."
