The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor Lyrics - Gaither Vocal Band

BILL GAITHER 

"Baptism Of Jesse Taylor" 

Among the local taverns there'll be a slack in business 

'Cause Jesse's drinkin' came before the groceries and the rent 

Among the local women there'll be a slack and 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

Now old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors 

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... 

They baptized Jesse Taylor... 

Shall we gather at the river for the Lord
