From the recording Jersey Stories Part 1
written 4/12/77-----
I really should have given my sister Nanci credit for the lyrics but forgot to on the CD. I have 3 sisters and 2 of them, Joanie and Phylis used to also perform. I went through a stage where I would write songs FOR my sisters to do-this is one of them.
Lyrics
Jesse
Roaming 'round shootin' down
every damn face I see
things are getting worse
I've to get my grip on reality
things go by so fast they're gone
before you've had a chance
to think about what you did ooh ooh ooh
Jesse come by and comfort me
I need some peace of mind
Jesse come by and lay by me
we'll leave behind the past
skimming stones in the night alone
I wonder when will this end
lover lover you blew my cover
come again and take me back
Jesse come by and comfort me
I need some peace of mind
Jesse come by and lay by me
we'll leave behind the past
Jesse come by and comfort me
I need some peace of mind
Jesse come by and lay by me
we'll leave behind the past
ooh ooh ooh ooh set me free
ooh ooh ooh ooh set me free
