[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]
[00:18.53]
[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.
[02:47.83]
[02:48.34] (Chours)
[02:48.64] Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
[02:52.49] Three children now they were brave
[02:56.70] Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
[03:00.78] He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[03:03.44]
[03:05.44]
[03:06.12]
[03:37.34]
