  • (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
  • They all cried hallelujah when Jesse's head went under
  • 'Cause this time he went under for the Lord.
  • --- Instrumental ---
  • 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 ...
