Jesse James

Jesse James was a lad who 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

For Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life

Three children they were brave

But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard

Has laid Jesse James in his grave

Jesse was a man, a friend to the poor

He'd never see a man suffer pain

And with his brother Frank he robbed Chicago Bank

And stopped the Glendale train

For Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life

Three children they were brave

But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard

Has laid Jesse James in his grave
