I Wash My Hands
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wash my hands in the muddy water
I wash my hands but they wouldn't come clean
I wash my hands in the muddy water
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
North Carolina, I did wrong
If I'd listen to what daddy told me
I would not be so rude and all alone
