The Ballad of Jayne Lyrics
From the popular Firefly episode called "Jaynestown". My friend Cedric wrote a cool parody called "The Ballad of Joss". You can also download and share a free Firefly MP3 of this song. I have a "The Hero of Canton" MP3 that you can download for free.
The Ballad of Jayne
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.
Oh! And now the Bedlam Bards CD, On the Drift (Firefly and Serenity Music) is now on sale at CDBaby.

That's from one of my favorite episodes of Firefly. :)
i was looking for Hero of Canton mp3 for my band, and then one of the guys came up with this version, and it's incredible, the first time i heard it i said to myself: this sounds like marc gunn... and guess what, i was righ! :-D great choice, Hero of Canton, now i love your music even more!
Thanks. Yeah, "Hero of Canton" and "The Ballad of Jayne" are synonymous. Though I think "Hero of Canton" has become the more accepted name.
I love Firefly...... too bad they had to cancel it....
