“Jayne Got a Stick (I Got Saffron)”
(to the tune of “I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)” by Sonny Curtis, popular cover by Bobby Fuller)
by J.M. Harmon
Catching crooks in a wagon
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
The prefect’s nephew went for his gun
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Swore by my bonnet and I shot him dead
At dawn we had to run
Then we found out that I’d gotten wed
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Sweetest woman under the sun
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
The special hell if I have some fun
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
She kissed Inara and left me for dead
She played us from day one
She set us driftin’, kicked Wash in the head
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
Jayne got a stick, I got Saffron
