Jesse Younger Lyrics - Ray Price

Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad 

Doin' all he could do to please his mommy and his dad 

But he never planned to be the man they said that he'd become 

Somehow or another now his little baby brother 

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

Everyday the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame the way 

We spat upon his family and scandalized their name 

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

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 teach your parents so unkind 

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

And you started goin' your own way and speaking your own mind 

Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong 

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

But he chose to start and try to cover future of his own 

And he got his rathers because now his younger brother 

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