Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad 
Bm           D                   A 
Doing all he could to please his mommy and his dad 
       D                A               D                F# 
But he never planned to be the man they said that he'd become 
    Bm          D              Bm          A    
And somehow or another Jesse's little baby brother 
       Bm               F#            Bm  
Is his father's and his mother's only son 


Bm               D          A 
Ev'ry day the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame 

Bm               D          A 
The way he spat upon his family and scandalized their name 
       D                A               D                F# 
And his parents never really ever said he'd been disowned 
    Bm          D              Bm          A    
But somehow or another now his little baby brother 
       Bm               F#            Bm  
Is his father's and his mother's only son 

D                          Bm 
Oh, Jesse Younger you're a devil not a man 
        D                              Bm  
Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind? 
         D                              Bm  
You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned 
           E                              F# 
And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind. 


Bm               D          A 
Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong 

Bm               D          A 
Now that Jesse's name has turned to ashes on their tongues 
       D                A               D                F# 
But he chose to starve asnd try to carve a future of his own 
    Bm          D              Bm          A    
And he got his druthers because now his younger brother 
       Bm               F#            Bm  
Is his father's and his mother's only son.
