The Hero of Canton

Jayne! 
The Man they call Jayne! 

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. 

Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'. 
He saw the mudders' lament. 
And he saw the Magistrate takin' 
every dollar and leavin' five cents. 
He said: "You can't do that to my people." 
"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 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. 
The man they called 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...
