lirik lagu nels andrews - jesse's mom
[verse 1]
jesse’s mom thought she was born with gypsy in her blood
and she laid down with a black man
in the west arkansas mud
back before those things were done
[chorus]
hallelujah to the fat man
with the skinny little book on jesus
hallelujah to gospel choir on hazeldine
there will be no more hard times
outside louisiana
nothin’ restin’
heavy on jesse’s mind
[verse 2]
nowadays
there’s no gypsy train
just rundown motels
with weekly and monthly rates
and jesse sat and watched tv, oh
[chorus]
hallelujah to the fat man
with the skinny little book on jesus
hallelujah to gospel choir on hazeldine
there will be no more hard times
up round’ louisiana
nothin’ restin’
heavy on jesse’s mind
[verse 3]
through fourteen schools
in thirteen years
jesse’s brown skin grew tight
to the taunts and jeers
of the jealous boys
who didn’t like the travelin’ kind
[chorus]
hallelujah to the fat man
with the skinny little book on jesus
hallelujah to gospel choir on hazeldine
there will be no more hard times
up round’ albuquerque
nothin’ restin’
heavy on jesse’s mind
[verse]
jesse’s tall and lanky now
with his father’s feet
and his momma’s [?]
he could sell it all
kiss this job goodbye
meet his baby in the middle of the night
[chorus]
hallelujah to the fat man
with the skinny little book on jesus
hallelujah to gospel choir on hazeldine
there will be no more hard times
up round’ santa fe
nothin’ restin’
heavy on jesse’s mind
