His heart was achin', head was thumpin'
Little Jesse went to hell bouncin' and jumpin'
Folks, don't be standin' around ole Jesse cryin'
He wants everybody to do the Charleston whilst dyin'
One foot up, a toenail dragging
Throw my buddy Jesse in the hoodoo wagon
Come here, mama, with that can of booze
The dyin' crapshooter's leavin' the world
The dyin' crapshooter's goin' down slow
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues
His heart was achin', head was thumpin'
Little Jesse went to hell bouncin' and jumpin'
Folks, don't be standin' around ole Jesse cryin'
He wants everybody to do the Charleston whilst dyin'
One foot up, a toenail dragging
Throw my buddy Jesse in the hoodoo wagon
Come here, mama, with that can of booze
The dyin' crapshooter's leavin' the world
The dyin' crapshooter's goin' down slow
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues
His heart was achin', head was thumpin'
Little Jesse went to hell bouncin' and jumpin'
Folks, don't be standin' around ole Jesse cryin'
He wants everybody to do the Charleston whilst dyin'
One foot up, a toenail dragging
Throw my buddy Jesse in the hoodoo wagon
Come here, mama, with that can of booze
The dyin' crapshooter's leavin' the world
The dyin' crapshooter's goin' down real slow
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues
