Lyrics

Jesse James was a lad
That had killed many a man
He robbed the Danville train
But the dirty little coward
That shot Mister Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
It was Robert Ford
That dirty little coward
I wonder how he does feel
For he ate of Jesse's bread
And he slept in Jesse's bed
Then laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were brave
But the dirty little coward
That shot Mister Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse was a man
A friend to the poor
He never seen a man suffer pain
And with his brother Frank
He robbed the Chicago bank
And he stopped that Glendale train
They went to the crossing
Not far from there
And there they did the same
With the agent on his knees
He delivered up the keys
To the outlaws Frank and Jesse James
It was on Wednesday night
The moon was shining bright
They robbed that Glendale train
The people did say
For many miles away
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James
The people held their breath
When they heard of Jesse's death
And wondered how he ever came to die
It was one of the gang
Called little Robert Ford
And he shot poor Jesse on the sly
