The sun was almost going down Casting shadows on the wall Overt girl I met that afternoon At a July festival "There is another man" she said His name it did ring true "Great-grandson of the famous Lee Is who I'm married to" She whispered to me through the night "My name is Jessie Lee" The man whose surname that I fear My fear is jealousy The sun began to rise again She said "I must be gone" But still I hear her soft voice say "You know we must be strong" So she left me with myself in bed And thoughts of what will be And will I ever see again? I want my Jessie Lee She whispered to me through the night "My name is Jessie Lee" The man whose surname that I fear My fear is jealousy Oh my Jessie Lee She whispered to me through the night "My name is Jessie Lee" The man whose surname that I fear My fear is jealousy So she left me with myself in bed And thoughts of what will be Will I ever see again? I want my Jessie Lee Will I ever see again? I want my Jessie Lee I want my Jessie Lee, want my Jessie Lee Oh my Jessie Lee
