Verse 1:
The first strange town I was ever in
The country 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
And I bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew
And kept on moving along

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2:
The second strange town that I was in
They were laughing at a poor crippled man
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
And I just don't understand

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:
The third strange town that I was in
Was settled peacedful and nice
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer
And to me it didn't seem right

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4:
Someday times are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice I have seen
Will come befor the bar

Repeat Chorus
