Jayne, the man they call Jayne . .
CHORUS:
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man and gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne
Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'
He saw the mudders' lament
And he saw the magistrate takin'
Every dollar and leavin' five cents
"You can't do that to my people
Can't crush them under your heel."
So Jayne strapped on his hat, and in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
CHORUS
Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne, he turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
The man they called Jayne, he stole away our pain
And headed out for the stars!
CHORUS
