letra de jesus and jesse - the men of no property

Loading...

come gather all around me, hear the story going round
how our lord and jesse james rode into belfast town
well, they stopped for a drink, and they stopped for a meal
drinking whiskey, drinking wine they were feeling mighty fine
as they rode into belfast through the hills of ligoniel

and not a word was spoken as they travelled on their way
until they reached the horseshoe bend and jesse he did say
well i haven’t felt so good since i robbed the glendale train
and jesus raised his head turned to jesse and he said
i never thought i’d see the likes of calvary again

well jesus road on a donkey and jesse straddled a mare
and they rode past the army tanks and never showed a care
jesse on his fiddle played the waters of the boyne
and jesus raised his head, and he turned to jesse and he said
i think you’d better change the tune because you’re passing through ardoyne

they stared at the burnt out houses and the tangle of barbed wire
for the city dragged up from a swamp was baptised in fire
and jesus would’ve blessed the place but a bullet grazed his hand
as the blood came dripping red, he turned to jesse and said
ah, it’s just that old stigmata; it’s infectious in this land

a multitude assembled and a spokesmen up and said
“just give us back our country, and to h-ll to the fish and bread!”
and jesse moved among the crowd to see what he could see
his possessions they were few, so he picked a pocket or two
said “i’m serving my apprenticeship with the sdlp.”
on the top of divis mountain there stands a lonely tree
and children passing by there they stop and bend a knee
and men with hidden guns, well they make a silent vow
for the riots stop that day and the soldiers came away
to nail jesus to the trunk and hang jesse from the bough
