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.
(Chorus)
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.
