A Tear for Jessie Songtext
von Jody Reynolds

She was sixteen
So was he
But she loved him
Hopelessly

A tear for Jesse
A tear for Jesse
Cry a tear for Jesse
Whoa, whoa
Cry a tear for Jesse

They both wanted
To be wed
But her parents
Ruled instead

A tear for Jesse
A tear for Jesse
Cry a tear for Jesse


They ran away one night so dark
But they were caught and tried and torn apart

She was bitten
He was, too
So heart-broken
What to do?

Though they might be
Man and wife
Bitter poison
Took her life

A tear for Jesse
A tear for Jesse
Cry a tear for Jesse
Whoa, whoa
Cry a tear for Jesse
Whoa, whoa
Cry a tear for Jesse
