Jayne

the man they call Jayne

he robbed from the rich

and he gave to the poor

stood up to the man

and gave him what for

our love for him now

ain't hard to explain

the hero of Canton

the man they call Jayne

our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'

he saw the mudders' lament

and he saw the magistrate takin'

every dollar and leavin' five cents

so he said "you can't do that to my people"

he said "you can't crush them under your heel"

so Jayne strapped on his hat

and in 5 seconds flat

stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal

he robbed from the rich

and he gave to the poor

stood up to the man

and gave him what for

our love for him now

ain't hard to explain

the hero of Canton

the man they call Jayne

now here is what separates heroes

from common folk like you and I

the man they call Jayne

he turned 'round his plane

and let that money hit sky

he dropped it onto our houses

he dropped it into our yards

the man they called Jayne

he stole away our pain

and headed out for the stars

he robbed from the rich

and he gave to the poor

stood up to the man

and gave him what for

our love for him now

ain't hard to explain

the hero of Canton

the man they call Jayne
