Lyrics
He came riding into town, six guns by his side
Heart filled with hatred and a wild look in his eye
As he passed by, no one made a sound
They all knew that he had come to lay poor Jesse down
Two brothers separated by love for the same girl
Jealousy and the gun, deadliest combination in this world
One will die and one will ride, both will pay the price
Justice is swift and cruel for the man who laid poor Jesse down
Jesse heard his brother's voice stopped dead in his tracks
The dreadful day has finally come and there's no turning back
Mama cry tonight, for two sons in the ground
He'll die with the price upon his head cause he laid poor Jesse down
Two brothers separated by love for the same girl
Jealousy and the gun, deadliest combination in this world
One will die and one will ride, both will pay the price
Justice is swift and cruel for the man who laid poor Jesse down
Two brothers separated by love for the same girl
Jealousy and the gun, deadliest combination in this world
One will die and one will ride, both will pay the price
Justice is swift and cruel for the man who laid poor Jesse down
Mama cry tonight, for mercy never found
Justice is swift and cruel for the man who laid poor Jesse down
