"Jesse Ryan"

"Jesse Ryan"

oh say have you seen my sweet Jesse Ryan
she's been gone so long the hills are a'cryin
she brought light to the valley, light to the wind
which now is a'sighin
how long will you be
my life is so hard since you've been gone my dear,
my love, my Jesse

chorus:

have you seen my Jesse
did she mention my name
it would so ease my pain
if she would return to me
where are you Jesse
where are you sweet girl



oh say have you seen my sweet Jesse Ryan
does she know how the hills weep
does she know the breath of the valleys
is not nearly as sweet without her
that life is so hard without her
Jesse my love please return to the hills
come back to the valleys
please, oh please, come back to me

Jesse come home
