PRIDE
“The Ballad Of Jessie Taylor”
WRITTEN BY: DUANE LEE PROCTOR
HE WAS SITTING ON THE FORNT PORCH SIPPING ON SOME SHINE
STARRING DOWN THE ROAD WITH KILLING ON HIS MIND
TOLD HER IT WAS COMING LORD..WARNED HER FAIR AND SQUARE
TOLD HER WHAT HE’AD DO IF HE EVER CAUGHT HIM THERE
SHE THOUGHT HE HAD GONE HUNTIN..BE GONE MOSTOF THE DAY
HE THOGUHT WHILE THE CAT WAS GONE..THE MOUSE WOULD SURELY PLAY
SO HE PARKED THAT NOISEY CHECY DOWN YONDER BY THE CREEK
MOSSIED ON UP TO THE HOUSE..THOUGHT HE’AD HAVE A PEEK
CHORUS: YOU CAN TAKE A MAN’S MONEY
TAKE AWAY HIS WILL TO FIGHT
EVEN TAKE AWAY ALL HE OWNS
EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
TAKE AWAY HIS HEART AND SOUL
LEAVE HIM EMPTY INSIDE
BUT DON’T TAKE AWAY HIS PRIDE
HIS EYES WERE DARK AND COLD..AS HE WALKED INTO THE ROOM
AND THERE SAT BILLY TUCKER..HE SMELLED OF HER PERFUME
SHE STUDDERED AND SHE STAMMERED... LORD..TRYING TO EXPLAIN
BUT HE WAS BLINDED BY THE MOMENT AND DIDN’T HEAR A THING
SOMEONE TOLD THE SHERIFF..TWO SHOTS WAS ALL THEY HEARD
THEY KNEW OLD JESSIE TAYLOR..WASN’T SHOOTING BIRD
THERE’S A LESSON IN THIS STORY..ONE YOU BETTER LEARN
BRIDGES OVER TROUBLED WATERS ARE SO EASY TO BURN
REPEAT CHORUS (2)
YEA….THAT’S ALL I’VE GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT
