It was on a Friday night the moon was shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And people all did say, from many miles away
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James
It was Robert Ford that dirty little coward
I wonder how he does feel
For he ate of Jesse's bread and slept in Jesse's bed
and he laid Jesse James in his grave
He was standing on a chair just dustin' a picture there
Thought that he heard a noise
He turned his head around and the bullet smashed him down
and they laid poor Jesse on the floor
People held their breath
when they heard about his death
wondered how he ever came to fall
It was Robert Ford, that little coward,
shot Jesse while he hung a picture on the wall

Wake up Charlie let’s go home…
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand…

Well where have you been my pretty lulu girl?
Where have you been so long?
Well I've been in the pen with the rough and rowdy men
And honey I'm goin' back again
Well I'll pawn you my watch and I'll pawn you my chain
I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
To pay my little lulu girl's fine
I'll pawn you my wagon and my team

down the road here from me
You put your money in
and before you begin
They call it that ole mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew
My uncle Mort he's sawed off and he's short
He measures bout four foot two
But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint
Of that good old mountain dew
My brother Bill's got a house on the hill
where he buys it by the case or two
And the buzzards in the sky get so sick they can't fly
from smelling that good ole mountain dew

You made me love you, now your man done come ...
Standin in the kitchen in that morning gown ...
Lookin right at her when that sun went down ...
My home is on the water, I don't like the land at all ...
Key: A
Oh, bear my loving heart to him
Who bled and died for me,
Whose blood now cleanses from all sins,
And give me victory
I've almost reached my heavenly home,
My spirit loudly sings,
The holy ones, behold they come,
I hear the noise of wings
Key: D
She had log-books and bells and the things like that,
And she knew the old captains and where they were at.
She rode the Alabama and the Gordon C. Green,
As the Cape Girardeau, she was later renamed, Uh-huh.
Well, now, fast people in St. Louis society
A-takin' a trip on the Mississippi
Sleepin' in their bunks after an after-dinner drink
They didn't think the boat would sink. Oh, no!
Well, I know Captain Buck was a very sad man
When that old wooden hull went into the sand
And Miss Ferris was sad for sure
But immediately, her mind went to work. Oh, yeah!
Well, she did some politicking that was tricky and hard
And she got the pilot house for the schoolhouse yard
And so, instead of studying, I became a dreamer
Dreaming 'bout boats and the Mississippi River. Uh-huh.
I had to work real hard to get my school work done
Cause you could not fool Miss Ferris none;
And, if I went to sleep or I were not supposed to talk
Oh, she was a dead shot with a little piece of chalk. Uh-huh!{soc}
Oh me, oh my, how the time does fly.
Time and the river keep a-rollin' on by.
Now, I am not a student and she is not a teacher
But, we both still love the Mississippi River. Uh, huh.
Well, I went to see her this Christmas last.
We took a little trip back through the past.
On the easy rocker we looked at pictures
And we dreamed our dreams of the Mississippi River. Uh-huh!

Oh, I wish I was a lizard in the spring
Yes, I wish I was a lizard in the spring
If I's a lizard in the spring
I'd hear my darlin' sing
And I wish I was a lizard in the spring
Oh, Kempe wants a nine dollar shawl
Yes, Kempe wants a nine dollar shawl
With a nine dollar shawl
She could beat them all in all
Kempe wants a nine dollar shawl
Oh Kempe, let your hair roll down
Kempe, let your hair roll down
Let your hair roll down
and your bangs curl round
Oh Kempe, let your hair roll down
I been in the bend so long
Yes, I been in the bend so long
I been in the bend
with the rough and rowdy men
Baby, where you been so long?
Oh, I don't like a railroad man
No, I don't like a railroad man
Oh the railroad man
He'll kill you if he can
Drink up your blood like wine

First time I seen my true love
He was walkin' by my door.
The next time I saw his false hearted smile
He was layin' dead and cold on floor.
Don't go to drinkin' or to gamblin',
Don't go there your sorrows to drown.
That hard-liquor place is a low-down disgrace,
It's the meanest old place in this town
Key: A
You're going to miss me by my hair
You're going to miss me everywhere
You know, you're going to miss me when I'm gone
You're going to miss me by my knees
You're going to miss me if you please
You know, you're going to miss me when I'm gone

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a whiff on me
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
I've got a woman, she's ten feet tall
Her head in the kitchen, feet in the hall
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
Two old women fishing in a creek
ain't caught a man since late last week
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
Cocaine's for horses not for men
doctor say it'll kill you but he won't say when
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
I'm a-walkin' down the road with my hat in my hand
Lookin' for a woman who needs a banjo man,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.
