Jesse Songtext
von Larkin Poe

(Jesse, Jesse, Jesse)

At the end of the cotton road
We all saw what was shooting on
Hm-mm, hmm, hm-mm
Mama′s stripping off her dress
Laying down in the tall grass
Hm-mm, hmm, hm-mm

The window was low, oh
Mama just wants to let go (oh, oh)

It's okay, put the gun down
It′s alright, put the bottle away
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)
It's okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)


We hear an echo in the trees
As our mama whispers "please"
Hm-mm, hmm, hm-mm
A stranger′s body closing in
Kisses mama′s lips again
Hm-mm, hmm, hm-mm

The summer was slow, oh
Mama wants to keep it on the down low (oh, oh)

It's okay, put the gun down
It′s alright, put the bottle away
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)
It's okay, put the gun down
It′s alright, put the bottle away
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)

Lining us up just like dogs
With a gun in your hand
Hm-mm, hmm, hm-mm
But daddy, if you knew the truth
We'd all think you′d understand
Hm-mm, hmm, hm-mm

We are dead on a field, help!
Mama's white as a sheet


It's okay, put the gun down
It′s alright, put the bottle away
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)
It′s okay, put the gun down
It's alright, put the bottle away
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)
Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse), Jesse (Jesse)
