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
He saw that 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"
So Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five 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's what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned around 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 he gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
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
He saw that 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"
So Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five 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's what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned around 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 he gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne
