Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad

Doin' all he could do to please his mommy and his dad

But he never planned to be the man they said that he'd become

Somehow or another now his little baby brother

Is his father's and his mother's only son

Everyday the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame the way

We spat upon his family and scandalized their name

And his parents never really ever said he'd been his own

Somehow or another now his little baby brother

Is his father's and his mother's only son

Oh Jesse Younger you're a devil not a man

Can you dare to teach your parents so unkind

You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned

And you started goin' your own way and speaking your own mind

Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong

Now that Jesse's name is turned to ashes on their tongues

But he chose to start and try to cover future of his own

And he got his rathers because now his younger brother

Is his father's and his mother's only son
