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
