## Lyrics
[verse]
Down on the river where the gamblers meet
There's a story told on every street
About a man they called Big Jesse Cole
Wildest legend this old town has known

[chorus]
Big Jesse, Big Jesse Cole
Wildest gambler this old town has known
Big Jesse, Big Jesse Cole
Legend of the river, so the story's told

[verse]
He walked in wearing a hat of black
Cards up his sleeve and a silver tack
Bet his fortune on a roll of the dice
Never lost a hand, never rolled it twice

[chorus]
Big Jesse, Big Jesse Cole
Wildest gambler this old town has known
Big Jesse, Big Jesse Cole
Legend of the river, so the story's told

[bridge]
Some folks say he vanished on a riverboat
Some folks say he's just a tale they wrote
But late at night when the cards come out
You can hear his name in the gambler's shout

[chorus]
Big Jesse, Big Jesse Cole
Wildest gambler this old town has known
Big Jesse, Big Jesse Cole
Legend of the river, so the story's told
