among the local taverns there'll be a slack in business Jesse's drinking came
before the groceries and the rain among the local women there'll be a slack in
cheating but Jesse won't be stepping out again
came down type Jesse Taylor and seen a creek last Sunday Jesus gave the soul
and Saint lost a good ride on
when Jesse's head went under this time he went under for the Lord
scars on Jesse's knuckles were more than just respected the county courthouse
records tells all there is to tell the pockets of the gamblers will soon miss
Jesse's money and the black eye of the law will soon be well
they baptized Jesse Taylor and seen a creek last Sunday Jesus gave the soul
and say the lost a good ride on
when Jesse's head went under this time he went under for the Lord
from now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors and tell them just
how Jesse took up with a little Jim now Jimmy's got a daddy
Jesse's got a family
Jesus gave the soul and say the lost a good ride on
for the Lord
this time he went under for the Lord
and seen a creek last Sunday Jesus gave the soul and Satan lost a good ride on
they all cried hallelujah when Jesse's head went under
this time he went under for the Lord
you
