A Tear for Jesse

[Verse 1]
She was sixteen
So was he
But she loved him
Hopelessly

[Chorus]
A tear for Jesse
A tear for Jesse
Cry a tear for Jesse

[Refrain]
Whoa, whoa
Cry a tear for Jesse

[Verse 2]
They both wanted
To be wed
But her parents
Ruled instead

[Chorus]
A tear for Jesse
A tear for Jesse
Cry a tear for Jesse

[Bridge]
They ran away one night so dark
But they were caught and tried and torn apart

[Verse 3]
She was bittеn
He was, too
So heart-broken
What to do?

[Verse 4]
Though thеy might be
Man and wife
Bitter poison
Took her life

[Chorus]
A tear for Jesse
A tear for Jesse
Cry a tear for Jesse

[Refrain]
Whoa, whoa
Cry a tear for Jesse
Whoa, whoa
Cry a tear for Jesse
