The Baptism of Jesse Taylor lyrics
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
Among the local taverns, there'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinking 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
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 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
From now, old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
And tell them how much Jesse hooked 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 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
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
