Among the local taverns they'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinkin' came before the groceries and the rent Among the local women they'll be a slack in cheatin' 'Cause Jesse won't be be steppin' out again. They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm They all cried "Hallelujah" as 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 The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money And the black eye of the law will soon be well. (Chorus) From now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors Tell 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) |

Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one Of the pleasures I've known Tell me Lord, what did I ever do That was worth loving you Or the kindness you've shown. Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so Help me Jesus I know what I am Now that I know that I've need you so Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand. Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way I can try to repay All I've taken from you Maybe Lord, I can show someone else What I've been through myself On my way back to you. Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so Help me Jesus I know what I am Now that I know that I've need you so Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand. |

Mama taught us how to sing in harmony
Grandma used to stomp her foot and slap her knee I can still hear daddy singin' Down by the old mill stream When uncle Jim played the fiddle You could hear it talk you could hear it sing And it echoed down the mountains To those Georgia pines Ran through Tennessee just like that old moonshine Old Joe Clark Cripple Creek Annie Get Your Gun I guess my old time favorite was that Fox on the Run Like a fox, like a fox on the run [ fiddle - dobro ] Grandpa played the dobro till the break of dawn Me I had this guitar and I'd strum along Carol played the washboard and the tamborine Little Mary Beth would always help us sing And it echoed down the mountains To those Georgia pines Ran through Tennessee just like that old moonshine Old Joe Clark Cripple Creek Annie Get Your Gun I guess my old time favorite was that Fox on the Run Like a fox, like a fox on the run Oh like a fox on the run, like a fox on the run Oh like a fox on the run, like a fox on the run Mama taught us how to sing in Harmony |
