The Baptism of Jesse Taylor

        G                   G7
Chorus  They baptized Jesse Taylor,
            C                 G
        In Cedar Creek last  Sunday,
                                                        D
        Jesus gained a soul and satan lost a good right arm,
             G              G7             C                G
        They all cried "Hallelujah" when Jesse's head went under,
                                      D7        G
        Cause this time he went under for the Lord.

        G              G7                 C
 1.     Among the local taverns, there'll be a slack in business,
              G                                                  D7
        Cause Jesse's drinking came before the groceries and the rent,
        G              G7                   C
        Among the local women, there'll be a slack in cheatin'
              G              C        D7        G
        Cause Jesse won't be steppin' out   again.

Chorus  They baptized Jesse Taylor,
            C                 G
        In Cedar Creek last  Sunday,
                                                        D
        Jesus gained a soul and satan lost a good right arm,
             G              G7             C                G
        They all cried "Hallelujah" when Jesse's head went under,

 2.     The scars on Jesse's knuckles are more than just respected,
            G                                              D7
        The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell,
        G                 G7              C
        The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money,
              G              C              D7     G
        And the black eye of the law will soon be well.

        G                   G7
Chorus  They baptized Jesse Taylor,
            C                 G

        G               G7            C
  3.    From now on, Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors,
            G                                             D7
        And tell them just how Jesse took up with little Jim,
            G             G7         C
        Now Jimmy's got a daddy, and Jesse's got a family,
           G               C         D7       G
        And Franklin County's got a lot more man.

        G                   G7

               G             G7            C                G
        They all cried "Hallelujah" when Jesse's head went under,

        Cause this time he went under for the Lord.
