christy moore - jesus christ & jessie james lyrics

Loading...

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 hе raised his head turned to jеsse 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 down 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 guitar down turned to jesse with a frown
i don’t think you should play that tune when we’re passing through ardoyne

on the top of divis mountain there stands a lonely tree
and children passing 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 calvary and jesse hanging from the bough
