guitar chords lyrics
Jesse
Jesse did they change your name
So you won’t know who I am
Jesse
Where are you darling son
You were taken from my arms
Mama put me on a train
In the middle of the night
Sent me away to hide my shame
Said ‘Come back without the child’
In a bare white room I laboured alone
‘til they came to put me out
I had to fight just to see you
To remember your eyes
Jesse
I had to fight just to see you
To remember your eyes
Jesse
Jesse did they change your name
So you won’t know who I am
Jesse
Where are you darling son
You were taken from my arms
You must think I gave you up
I was just a girl
Not yet strong enough
To stand up when they come
They said ‘You’re unfit to raise your son’
‘He’s promised to a husband and wife’
So with fingers crossed behind my back
I signed us apart
Jesse
Jesse did they change your name
So you won’t know who I am
Jesse
Where are you darling son
You were taken from my arms
Every child injured or died
In the daily news
My heart it crashed every time
Darling could that be you
Every boy I’d pass on the street
Every boy I’d ever meet
Every boy who’d visit my dreams
Darling could that be you
Oh Jesse, did they change your name
So you won’t know who I am
Jesse
Where are you darling son
You were taken from my arms
