Two empty coffins...with unknown names 
Saved for the unfortunates...of Jesse James

Only a matter of time, they'll both...be filled

The sun was blaring down 
That August afternoon
When Jesse came into the town 
Of Early Blossom Bloom
The sun had blistered up his skin
His shoes were worn and tired
The clothes he wore upon his back
Was all that he acquired

Jesse was a loner 
Traveled light and all...

dear tall child,

your bones probably don't fit your frame yet;
   they shift awkwardly,
and your spine hunches and slopes.

your hands are likely to be dry and grimy,
   legs speckled with ant bites
that sting like fire.


spending those arid days snatching lizards off the...

Jesse Forbes

Born a bad-tempered brute of a boy
In the two-room digs on Bailey Street and Comstock..
My father fathered two other families,
Unbeknownst to his wife..
And I...

Jesse Evans and The Boys earned much notoriety
during the old west's most untamed and wild history.
Raiding resturants and salloons they would drink and eat for free.
"Chalk it up!" they'd say to all of the merchants before they'd leave,
and riding along with them was one William...

I won't begin to list his jobs 
because we’ve heard them all,
from confederate raider to stick
up man, he had a bad man’s gaul

His fame spread with noteriety
across the Yankee plain, but he was 
just an outlaw man, he don’t deserve
no fame

But in them days, imagination...

Jesse was a common man
he never made a lot of money
he had a troubled marriage.

His wife left him for another man
he never saw his kids again.

Although he never wrote a book
he read hundreds of them 
trying to solve riddles in his life. 

But Jesse had...

Holy fire come
I surrender all
Thy Kingdom Come
we gather one and all

Here Down Under
On your hills and beaches
Holy Fire roar

For true salvation

Here Down Under
God is moving strong
Spirit-led prayer
In Australia leads us Home

Jesse F. Hunnicutt
1867-1908

They placed me near the gate, there,
My tall tombstone rising above all the others;
All were friends and neighbors way back when,
We Worked and worshipped together, in the presence
Of our Lord creator, and savior most wondrous.
They are all dead now, but are alive evermore...
