The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor

Dallas Frazier, Sanger Shafer

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul, 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 they'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinkin' came before the groceries and the rent
And among the local women they'll be a slack in cheatin'
'Cause Jesse won't be steppin' out again

Yeah, they baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul, 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 were more than just respected
The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
And the pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
And the black eye of the law will soon be well

Well, they baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul, 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-yeah

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

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul, 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, 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
