Jesse Younger — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

Little jesse younger was a well respected lad

Doing all he could to please his mommy and his dad

But he never planned to be the man

They said that hed become

And somehow or another jesses little baby brother

Is his fathers and his mothers only son



Evry day the neighbors say that its a dirty shame

The way he spat upon his family and scandalized their name

And his parents never really ever said hed been disowned

But somehow or another now his little baby brother

Is his fathers and his mothers only son



Oh, jesse younger youre a devil not a man

Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind?

You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned

And youve started going your own way and speaking your own mind.



Jesse youngers parents wonder where it all went wrong

Now that jesses name has turned to ashes on their tongues

But he chose to starve asnd try to carve a future of his own

And he got his druthers because now his younger brother

Is his fathers and his mothers only son.



Oh, jesse younger, youre a devil not a man

Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind?

You have selfishly refuysed to live your life the way they planned

And youve started going your own way and speaking your own mind.
