peg leg jesse s daughter
Just south of town 'bout a half mile down past Cemetary Ridge Out behind the levy where the moss grows heavy there's a one lane wooden bridge That leads to a backwoods beer joint bar they call the Loaded Dice Cross that bridge once ya' might not cross it twice I know first hand it's run by a man called Peg Leg Jesse Long He got his name when a poker game he was cheatin' and went wrong He's got a cajun daughter ole' Jesse's taught her how to double deal a man When she casts her spell that Jezebel holds ya' down like sinkin' sand He's the meanest man in Catahoula County Daddy warned me son ole' Jesse's gun don't ever leave his hand I hear the devil was his father Boy you can't walk on water So don't press ya' luck with Peg Leg Jeese's daughter But I was young and wild and that devil's child was dealin at the Dice In a sultry voice she said hey boy tonight's your lucky night Well the lights were low when I pulled her close out on that sawdust floor When our lips touched ole' Jesse cussed and cocked that 44 He's the meanest man in Catahoula County Daddy warned me son ole' Jesse's gun don't ever leave his hand I hear the devil was his father Boy you can't walk on water So don't press ya' luck with Peg Leg Jeese's daughter I was runnin' fast when that bullet passed and slammed into that door He yelled bet ya' life I won't miss twice don't come 'round here no more Cause I'm the meanest man in Catahoula County Ain't you heard son ole' Jesse's gun don't ever leave his hand You can bet your bottom dollar you'll wind up in deep water If ya' press ya' luck with Peg Leg Jesse's daughter Boy don't press ya' luck with Peg Leg Jesse's daughter Just south of town 'bout a half mile down past Cemetary Ridge Out behind the levy where the moss grows heavy there's a one lane wooden bridge That leads to a backwoods beer joint bar they call the Loaded Dice Cross that bridge once ya' might not cross it twice
