Jesse James
BbJesse James was a man, the Ebfinest in the land
BbHe robbed the Glendale trFain
BbHe stole from the rich and Ebgave to the poor
BbHe had a heFart, a soul and a brBbain
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
EbJesse had a wife who mourned for his lBbife
Three children, they were brFave
BbThat dirty little coward who shEbot Mr. Howard
Has lBbaid Jesse JaFmes in his grBbave
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
