Hero of Canton
- Jayne!
- The Man they call Jayne!
- He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor,
- He stood up to the man and he gave him what for.
- Our love for him now, aint 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"
- "You can't crush them under your heel"
- Jayne strapped on his hat
- And in five seconds flat
- Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
- He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
- Stood up to the Man and he 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
- And the man call Jayne
- He turned round his plane
- And headed out for the stars
- He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
- Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
- Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
- The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
