MiscellaneousThe Baptism Of Jesse Taylor lyrics by Guy Penrod
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 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 are 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
Well, from now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
And 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
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
Yes, 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
Yeah, this time he went under for the Lord
