Jesse Younger Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad 

Doing all he could to please his mommy and his dad 

But he never planned to be the man 

They said that he'd become 

And somehow or another Jesse's little baby brother 

Is his father's and his mother's only son 

Every day the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame 

The way he spat upon his family and scandalized their name 

And his parents never really ever said he'd been disowned 

But somehow or another now his little baby brother 

Is his father's and his mother's only son 

Oh, Jesse Younger you're a devil not a man 

Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind? 

You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned 

And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind. 

Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong 

Now that Jesse's name has turned to ashes on their tongues 

But he chose to starve asnd try to carve a future of his own 

And he got his druthers because now his younger brother 

Is his father's and his mother's only son. 

Oh, Jesse Younger, you're a devil not a man 

Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind? 

You have selfishly refuysed to live your life the way they planned 

And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind.
