(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer)

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.

Among the local taverns there'll be a slack in business
Cause Jesse's drinking came before the groceries and the rent
Among the local women there'll be a slack in 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.

--- Instrumental ---

From now old Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
And 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 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.

They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried hallelujah ...

  • A PICTURE OF ME WITHOUT YOU

    If you've ever looked up at a sky with no blue
    Then you've seen a picture of me without you..."
  • What My Woman Cant Do
    "It amazes me how she can change my mind
    When it seems to be impossible, she can do it every time
    And the way she's always loves me, she's got that down perfect too
    I keep asking myself what is it the lady can't do?..."
  • Once Youve Had the Best
    "I'm so glad to have you back within these arms of mine
    I can finally close these eyes and get some rest
    Never once did I think of finding someone new
    'Cause there's nothing better, once you've had the best...."
  • Her Name Is...
    "Oh, I love her and just can't live without her
    And I've got the urge to tell the world about her
    But our love's a secret and can't see the light of day
    But I went and wrote this love song anyway..."
  • Old King Kong
    "Well old King Kong was a hell of'va gorilla
    He stood four stories tall
    They shot him with missles from aeroplanes
    But he refused to fall..."
  • The Grand Tour
    "Step right up, come on in
    If you'd like to take the grand tour
    Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
    I have nothing here to sell you,..."

    Oh these days I barely get by..."
