First heard this song on a bootleg given to me by a friend from Madrid in 1998. I think it was on the Audition outtakes. Loved it from the start. Definitely of the same vibe as Greetings or Wild, the Innocent ….. Thanks for uploading.
Oh Jesse, you better start thinkin' about saving your neck Oh Jesse, you put on that leather jacket like you put on respect You got cleats on your boots and a woman who shoots everytime you shuffle out the stage door And darling Jesse, do you know what its all for? Ah Jesse, your manager brought by them eight by ten glossies of your band Oh Jesse, he says you wear cross around your neck and come on with nails in your hands With your insides showing and your New York band blowin' them old Chicago blues Ah Jesse, can't you see you're the one Jesse Ah Sonny, this time its you Well Jesse, your child is slobbering all over your pants And Jesse, your wife has fallen into a trance She's got eyes that tell no lies She's seen so many wars Ah be a good boy Jesse, tell her she don't have to look no more Well Jesse, he knows all the tricks to get the crowd reeling Oh and Jesse, ya he rocks 'em with that old soul feeling And he walks off the stage in a self-adoring haze And gets shoved right out the door Whoa Jesse, can't you see now boy that that's what its all about Jesse Not even time to do that old played out encore Whoa Jesse
Ah it has to be around Christmas time at that Italian household that Bruce is sitting at because there is Finocchio (fennel) there on the table. I love the sweet licorice-like taste of it
Another acoustic treat from the Boss...you can reflect on some of his lyrics that eventually found themselves on released songs. A gem indeed! Thanks Bruce...
@itabuttrose An illegal Cd came out in the mid to late 90's called "Before The Fame" was released without Springsteen or CBS' permission. It was released by Springsteen's former manager's Mike Appel's partner, Jim Cretecos. He didn't have the rights or anything; Springsteen suited and won. Now i bought the CD and it was something special. It was recorded on manager Appel's say so they could take his songs and try to sell them to other artists.

This is my © photograph of Bruce Springsteen I shot for Crawdaddy Magazine in 1972. It was stolen off my website with no permission from me for its use.
What a shame. Great pic!

Ah Jesse, can't you see you're the one Jesse
Ah Sonny, this time its you
Well Jesse, your child is slobbering all over your pants
And Jesse, your wife has fallen into a trance
She's got eyes that tell no lies
She's seen so many wars
Ah be a good boy Jesse, tell her she don't have to look no more
Well Jesse, he knows all the tricks to get the crowd reeling
Oh and Jesse, ya he rocks 'em with that old soul feeling
And he walks off the stage in a self-adoring haze
And gets shoved right out the door
Whoa Jesse, can't you see now boy that that's what its all about Jesse
Not even time to do that old played out encore

I could see this song being played a little faster and harder. What a hit it would be for Bruce! Nice Post!
Rare uncle Bruce!

Lots of goods boots on that album. 👌
Oh oh Jesse 😌💘💌🌹
This is quite good! Jesse is clearly Bruce & clearly not Bruce. Fascinating, & very catchy.

Hi Jesse :D
"Jesse" is one of Bruce's really great songs - Bruce probably never released it on any production because Appel released it w/out permission.
My name is Jesse...
anyone have chord for this song?
Sounds like Bob Seeger stole the chords for Night Moves from this song
Bruces other song reminded me a lot of Fire Lake,,Simalar story too
Does anybody know the chords?
thats so incorrect just the strum pattern is similar
Bruce Springsteen THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!
