歌词
Jesse James was a man
And he killed many men
He robbed the Glendale Train
And he took from the richer
And he gave that to the poor
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain
Oh, Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children, they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave
On Wednesday night
When the moon was shining bright
They robbed that Glendale Train
And the folks from miles about (yeah, they can)
They all said without a doubt
"It was done by her Frankie and Jesse James" (yes, it was)
Oh, Jessie had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children, they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid (poor) Jesse James in his grave
Well, the people held their breath (yeah)
When they heard about Jesse's death (yeah)
And they wondered how poor Jesse came to die (How did he die?)
It was one of his guy, called Little Robert Ford
And he shot Jessie James on the sly
Oh, Jessie had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children, they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
He laid Jesse James in his grave
