Baptism Of Jesse Taylor Lyrics

by The Statler Brothers

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 and 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

[ piano ]

Now old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors

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...

They baptized Jesse Taylor...

Shall we gather at the river for the Lord
