[00:01.30]Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man,
[00:06.55]He robbed the Glendale train,
[00:10.82]He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor,
[00:14.82]He'd a hand and a heart and a brain.
[00:18.16]
[00:19.36]Well it was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward,
[00:23.80]I wonder how he feel,
[00:27.94]For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed,
[00:31.93]Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave.
[00:35.11]
[00:35.65](chours)
[00:36.29]Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
[00:40.54]Three children now they were brave
[00:44.98]Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
[00:49.31]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[00:52.59]
[01:10.29]Jesse was a man, a friend to the poor,
[01:14.23]He'd never rob a mother or a child
[01:18.47]There never was a man with the law in his hand
[01:22.21]That could take Jesse James alive
[01:25.88]
[01:26.77]It was on a Saturday night and the moon was shining bright,
[01:30.73]They robbed the Glendale train,
[01:34.66]And people they did say o'er many miles away
[01:38.63]It was those outlaws,Ther're Frank and Jesse James
[01:42.23]
[01:43.05]Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
[01:47.01]Three children now they were brave
[01:51.26]Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
[01:55.22]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[01:59.62]
[02:15.82]Now the people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death,
[02:20.22]And wondered how he ever came to fall
[02:24.09]Robert Ford,It was a fact,He shot Jesse in the back
[02:28.36]While Jesse hung a picture on the wall
[02:31.49]
[02:32.38]Now Jesse went to rest with his hand on his breast,
[02:36.32]The devil will be upon his knee.
[02:40.29]He was born one day in the County Clay,
[02:44.33]And he came from a solitary race.
