Jesse James

Jesse James - Various Artists

Jesse James was a lad

That killed many a man

He robbed the Glendale train

He stole from the rich

And he gave to the poor

He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

Well Jesse had a wife

To mourn for his life

Three children

Now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward

That shot Mr. Howard

And he laid poor in his grave

Well it was Robert Ford

That dirty little coward

I wonder now how he feels

For he ate of Jesse's bread

And he slept in Jesse's bed

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave

Well Jesse had a wife

To mourn for his life

Three children

Now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward

That shot Mr. Howard

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave

It was on a saturday night

Yeah the moon was

Shinin' bright when

They robbed

The Glendale train

And the people they did say

O'er many miles away

It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James

Jesse had a wife

To mourn for his life

Three children

Now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward

That shot Mr. Howard

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave

It was on a saturday night

When Jesse was home

Talking to family brave

Robbed for came along lucky see good night

And make for and train

Well Jesse had a wife

To mourn for his life

Three children

Now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward

That shot Mr. Howard

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave
