None of them
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.

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.

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.
