Oak Ridge Boys, The - Baptism Of Jesse Taylor Lyrics
Among the local taverns they'll be a slack in business
'Cause Jesse's drinkin' came before the groceries and the rent
Among the local women they'll be a slack in cheatin'
'Cause Jesse won't be be steppin' out again.
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried "Hallelujah" as Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord.
The scars on Jesse's knuckles were more than just respected
The county courthouse records tell all there is to tell
The pockets of the gamblers will soon miss Jesse's money
And the black eye of the law will soon be well.
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
They all cried "Hallelujah" as Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord.
From now on Nancy Taylor can proudly speak to neighbors
Tell how much Jesse took up with little Jim
Now Jimmy's got a daddy and Jesse's got a family
And Franklin County's got a lot more man.
They baptized Jesse Taylor in Cedar Creek last Sunday
Jesus gained a soul and Satan lost a good right arm
They all cried "Hallelujah" as Jesse's head went under
'Cause this time he went under for the Lord...

Beautiful

I love you people
A special Joy only Christian's in recovery can know!
Love that song
God the song is so Powerful in your name I knows it GOD BLESS All THEY SONG IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST Amen Amen
Anyone in 2020?
GREAT song, but sure sounds like the false gospel of "baptismal regeneration," where being dunked in water gets one saved.
Weeping Everytime I hear this song as I watch the video cause it time I went under for the Lord everyday
Still amazing.
So glad I gave my heart to Jesus ❤️
My life the way it was goosebumps
The hins0n

Love you oak ridge and gaither vocal guy penrod can sing n he always shows his emmotions for the LORD we all love
my grandmother taught guy penrod in sunday school when he was a kid and my father and him were really good friends then too.
Good song
No disrespect to Johnny Russel, this is the BEST version of it. They gave a nice compliment to it with the steel guitar. Guy helps it.
I agree, this is by far the best.
Am I the only one who thought this was gonna be the girl, Jessie Taylor, converting?🤣
I love this song

Who is Jesse Taylor?
Just saw the ORBoys last fri 3/29/2019 at the Mtn Arts Center/MAC in our little town of P'burg, Ky. Had saw them back in the 70/80s several times. But, They sounded the same/just as GOOD as they did then. They were AWWWSOME!! What really Amazed me as well as many others were their ages & still singing & touring. The Lead/Tenor singer Joe Bonsall 74, Duane Allen 75, Wm Lee Golden 80 & Richard Sterban/Bass singer 77. Guys, If you possibly can? Do yourselves a Big Favor & go out & see & support them. You Will NOT be disappointed at ALLL? God Bless the Oak Ridge Boys!!
As much as I love this rendition I like our church band's rendition better
Thanks guys, such a great song.
I love this song
praise the Lord . Amen
I absolutely love The Oakridge Boys.
Absolutely The Best!!!
Love it Lord and You
From Ann Benson : Lenny, my BELOVED brother, mom and the rest of the family did not care when you got SAVED, AND refused to come when you got baptized. Now you are in Heaven, and mom CHOSE to reject Jesus until her dying day.
Please turn to JESUS😊.
You probably haven't been in Chicago
I was baptise in baptise church where you guys been in 92
Who was Jesse Taylor?
Songs by bob segar
love it
Awesome group
God bless u guy such beautiful voice
It is awesome how the oaks have their roots in gospel, and have kept singing gospel even with all their country songs becoming hits.
God bless y'all such wonderful and blessed men of god
They are really good singers
I grew up in a place called Cedar Grove. There was a man there named Jesse. And he fit the rough and rowdy Jesse Taylor role. And then God turned him around. This song makes me think of one of the baddest men I ever knew as he became one of the best men I'll ever know. Don't know where he is today. But he was in the right place, at the right time to make a lasting impression on me. Thanks Jesse. Wherever you are.
Shirley Ford cedar grove in wv?
Guy...you are amazing.....
Love The Oaks !!!! Great Song !!!
I love that Song so much......Good when Johnny Russell does it Also.....Outstanding job Oakridge Boys !!!!!
I remember this like it was yesterday. It's always been my favorite song by The Oak Ridge Boys. Great song.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! AND THIS SONG!!!😇😇
this is my favorite song ever
if Guy joined the Oak ridge boys that would be cool
I love This song Jesse Taylor sung by The Oakridge boys and Guy Penrod
Bill like all the rest of us was really getting into it at around the 2:43 mark.
God is good all the time
I love this song
Doesn't get any better then this. My favorite singer Guy Penrod and my favorite group the Oak Ridge Boys...awesome
gail thayer g
I love this song
My freind get babtized all time an an scared of water too
I hope the Jessie was saved before he got baptized.
otherwise he just took a bath
...eight souls were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the fifth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. --1 Peter 3:20-21. But yes baptism without repentance and confession is just getting wet.
There's got to be repentance of sins
water part is first then the laying of hands to transfer the Holy Spirit into the person is second also the moment you are saved is the day you die
Regeneration is a definite sign of being saved.
God loves us all
Maddison Lago yes he does love all. Of us god bless you praise the Lord I love my lord
;-) ;-) ;-) :-\ ;-) :-! :-! :-! :-! :-!
I love this song
I'm 9 and today I talked to my 5 brother about baptizing
that's good hunny :)
It's good when he gets older he knows what he can do!
It just doesn't get any better than this. When Johnny Russel wrote this I'll bet he never dreamt the Oak Ridge Boys and Guy Penrod would do such a wonderful job with his little song. Guy Penrod has to be one of the very best tenors ever...although Duane Allen does an hell of a job...absolutely beautiful!
Johnny Russell didnt write this song. Whitey Shafer did. I think Johnny may have been the first to record it.
This is my favorite version of this song. The Oaks AND Guy Penrod. That's a bunch of talent.
this song was written about a man from "The Shoal" or Red Bay. Muscle Shoals still has the Swampers around, Sweet Home Alabama.
Who is that so attractive blonde lady in the blue skirt, left of the band?
Janet Paschal

Thank you Jesus.
Thank You Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Jack Carter--GOD'S NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JESUS IS ALIVE AND HE IS REAL,DUMBASS!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
You've got the wrong person, my friend. dankshot1 said he was dead. I said he doesn't exist. There's a difference.
+Jack Carter For someone with your mindset, whether you say God is dead or that he does not exist, matters little. You are still a big loser!!
@James Verner "big loser"? Oh I'm sure that phrase is in the bible.
Another good one,,thanks for sharing,,,love it
I love this song!
Love these guys. And the song
Dankshot1 I'm not a bible thumber. But my friend u better get real
Praise God!
I remember when I was 9 yrs old they were in normalville pa in the mountains at a fair
