Jesse and Will

Early Sunday mornin'
I was polishin' my boots
In came brother William
Runnin' like the devil through the hall
And he said, "Jesse, we're in trouble
And we've gotta leave this place
I was just down at the depot and they've
Got our pictures hangin' on the wall"

Say a fast goodbye
To your Brandy River cabin
And pretty Marie
Meet you by the water
If we make it 'cross the border
Into Tennessee
If the law don't get me

I told him to take the wagon
And I said
"You better use the mountain roads
I'll try and hop the 10:09
Meet you down in Bristow late tonight"

Brother up and left me
Strappin' on a gun
Jumped into the wagon
And then he took off with a wave
Of his hand, hand

Say a fast goodbye
To your Brandy River cabin
And pretty Marie
Said, "I'll meet you by the water
If we make it 'cross the border
To Tennessee"

Say a fast goodbye
To your Brandy River cabin
And pretty Marie
Meet you by the water
If we make it 'cross the border
Into Tennessee

Say a fast goodbye
To your Brandy River cabin
And pretty Marie
You know I'll meet you by the water
If we make it 'cross the border
Into Tennessee

Say a fast goodbye
To your Brandy River cabin
And pretty Marie
