christy moore - jesus christ and jesse james lyrics
will you come and listen to the story going round
how our lord and jesse james rode into belfast town
they stopped for a drink they stopped for a meal
drinking whiskey, drinking wine they were feeling
mighty fine
as they rode into belfast through the hills of ligoniel
not a word was spoken as they travelled on their way
until the came to the falls and jesse he did say
god i haven’t felt so good since i robbed the glendale
train
our lord he raised his head turned to jesse and he said
i never thought i’d see the likes of calvary again
they rode past the burnt out motorcars and the tangle
of barbed wire
in a city built upon a swamp and baptised by fire
our lord was going to bless the place but a bullet
pierced his hand
as the blood cam trickling red turned to jesse with a
frown
looks like the old stigmata is infectious in this land
our lord was riding a donkey; jesse james was riding a
mare
and they rode past the army tanks and never showed a
care
jesse on his fiddle played the victory at the boyne
jesus put his bazuki down turned to jesse with a frown
i don’t think you should play that tune when we’re
p-ssing through ardoyne
on the top of divis mountain there stands a lonely tree
and children p-ssing by there they stop and bend a knee
and men with hidden guns they make a silent vow
that the riots will stop the day the soldiers go away
leave our lord on the cross and jesse hanging from the
bough
