gaither - the baptism of jesse taylor [live] lyrics

[verse 1]
among the local tavern 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 steppin’ out again, oh

[chorus]
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 wеnt under
’cause this time hе went under for the lord, woo, amen, brother

[verse 2]
well, the scars on jesse’s knuckles were more than just respected
the county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
woah, the pockets of the gamblers will soon miss jesse’s money
and the black eye of the law will soon be well

[interlude]
aw, listen to this now, hahaha
[verse 3]
well, from now on nancy taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
and tell them 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

[chorus]
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, 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, woah

[outro]
this time he went under for the lord
