Jesse James - Celtic Rock
Jesse james we understand
Has killed many a man
He robbed the union trains
He stole from the rich and gave to the poor
He had a hand and a heart and a brain
It was on a saturday night
The stars were shining bright
They robbed the glendale train
And the people they say from many miles away
It was those outlaws frank and jesse james
Jesse had a wife
Lived a lady all her life
Her children they were brave
But history does record
That bob and charlie ford
Laid poor jesse in his grave
Well it was bob and charlie ford
Those dirty little cowards
I wonder how they feel
They ate of jesse's bread
Slept in jesse's bed
Laid poor jesse in his grave
Now jesse had a wife
Lived a lady all her life
Her children they were brave
Now history does record
That bob and charlie ford
Laid poor jesse in his grave
Well the people held their breath
When they heard of jesse's death
Wondered how he came to fall
It was robert ford in fact
Shot him in the back
He hung a picture on the wall
Now jesse had a wife
Lived a lady all her life
Her children they were brave
Now history does record
That bob and charlie ford
Laid poor jesse in his grave
Jesse had a wife
Lived a lady all her life
Her children they were brave
Now history does record
That bob and charlie ford
Laid poor jesse in his grave
Laid poor jesse in his grave
Laid poor jesse
Laid poor jesse
Laid poor jesse in his grave
