The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor |
Among the local taverns they’ll be a slack in business |
'Cause Jesse’s drinkin' came before the groceries and the rent |
Among the local women they’ll be a slack in cheatin' |
'Cause Jesse won’t be be steppin' out again |
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday |
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm |
They all cried «Hallelujah» as Jesse’s head went under |
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord |
The scars on Jesse’s knuckles were more than just respected |
The county courthouse records tell 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 |
From now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors |
Tell how much Jesse took up with little Jim |
Now Jimmy’s got a daddy and Jesse’s got a family |
And Franklin County’s got a lot more man |
