The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor
Lyricist:Dallas Frazier, Sanger D Shafer
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
Among the local taverns, there'll be a slack in business 'Cause Jesse's drinking 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
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
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They all cried, 'Hallelujah', when Jesse's head went under 'Cause this time, he went under for the Lord
From now, old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors And tell them how much Jesse hooked 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
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
