Baptism Of Jesse Taylor lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Baptism Of Jesse Taylor lyrics Among the local taverns there ll be a slack in business Cause Jesse s drinkin came before the groceries and the rent Among the local women there ll be a slack in cheatin Cause Jesse won t 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 when 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 They baptized Jesse Taylor... From now old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors And tell them 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 They baptized Jesse Taylor... They baptized Jesse Taylor... song lyrics
