Firefly reminiscing!

Jaynes Theme (was sung somewhere in series two of Firefly i think)

Jayne!
The Man called Jayne!

Oh, 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 is not hard to explain.
The hero of Canton a man they called Jayne.

Our Jayne he saw the mudders' backs breakin.
He saw all 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",
said, "You can;t crush them under your heel."
So Jayne strapped on his hat
and in 5 seconds flat
stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal.

Oh, 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 is not hard to explain.
The hero of Canton a man they called Jayne.

Now here is what seperates heroes
from common folk like you and I.
The man they called Jayne
he turned round his plane
and let that money hit the 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!

NB i think the words are "is not" rather than "ain't" hard to explain; simply as the cadence seems to fit right. I will try to find that episode again; watch it and make sure this is correct!
