[N] [D] [F#] Among the local taverns, there'll be a slack in business
Cause Jesse's drinking came before the groceries [C#] and the rent
[F#] Among the local women, there'll be a slack in cheating
Cause Jesse [C#] won't be stepping [F#] out again
They baptized Jesse Taylor [B] in Cedar Creek last [F#] Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried hallelujah [B] when Jesse's [F#] head went under
This time he went under [C#] for [F#] the Lord
The scars on Jesse's knuckles are more than just respected
The county courthouse records tell all there is to [C#] tell
The [F#] pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
And the black eye of the [C#] law will [F#] soon be well
They baptized Jesse Taylor [B] in Cedar Creek last [F#] Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried hallelujah [B] when Jesse's head [F#] went under
This time [B] he went [C#] under for [F#] the Lord
[G]
Well, from now on, Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
And tell them just how Jesse took up with little [D]
