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.
