Recorded by Brandon Davis
Album: Single (2023)

(Capo on 2)

(Intro.)
None

(Chorus)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus and a (G)little Jesse James
Some (D)holy water whiskey running (A)through my veins
Working (Bm)hard to get to Heaven
Ain't (G)scared to go down in (D)flames (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (A/C#) (D) and a little Jesse James (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (A/C#) (D) and a little Jesse James (A)

(Verse 1)
Where (Bm)I come from it's a Sunday morning steeple
Open (A)up the front door there's a bunch of good people
On a (Bm)Saturday night it's the same ole folks
Throwing (A)back a few beers and lighting up smokes
Oh, (Bm)it’s in my (A)blood, it's how I was raised up
(G)Oh, like Mama's King (F#m)James and Granddaddy's pistol

(Chorus)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus and a (G)little Jesse James
Some (D)holy water whiskey running (A)through my veins
Working (Bm)hard to get to Heaven
Ain't (G)scared to go down in (D)flames (A)
I'm a (Bm)saint, I'm a sinner rolled (G)right into one
I'm a (D)straight shooter 'til you're at the (A)end of my gun
I'll (Bm)even say a prayer for you (G)when your time has (D)come (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (G) and a little Jesse (D)James (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (G) and a little Jesse (D)James (A)

(Verse 3)
When (Bm)she walked in rolling out like thunder
Them (A)river blue eyes have her pulling me under
She (Bm)saved my soul without even trying
She (A)helps me walk that line

(Chorus)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus and a (G)little Jesse James
Some (D)holy water whiskey running (A)through my veins
Working (Bm)hard to get to Heaven
Ain't (G)scared to go down in (D)flames (A)
I'm a (Bm)saint, I'm a sinner rolled (A)right into one
I'm a (D)straight shooter 'til you're at the (A)end of my gun
I'll (Bm)even say a prayer for you (G)when your time has (D)come (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (G) and a little Jesse (D)James (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (G) and a little Jesse (D)James (A)

(Bridge)
(Bm)Oh, it's in my (A)blood, it's how I was raised up
(G)Oh, like Mama's King (F#m)James and Granddaddy's pistol

(Chorus)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus and a (G)little Jesse James
Some (D)holy water whiskey running (A)through my veins
Working (Bm)hard to get to Heaven
Ain't (G)scared to go down in (D)flames (A)
I'm a (Bm)saint, I'm a sinner rolled (G)right into one
I'm a (D)straight shooter 'til you're at the (A)end of my gun
I'll (Bm)even say a prayer for you (G)when your time has (D)come (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (G) and a little Jesse (D)James (A)
I got me some (Bm)Jesus (G) and a little Jesse (D)James (A)
