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
