El Corrido de Jesse James |
| Jesse James we understand |
| Has killed him many a man |
| He robbed the Union trains |
| But history does record |
| That Bob and Charlie Ford |
| Have laid Jesse James in his grave |
| It was on a Saturday night |
| The stars were shining bright |
| When they robbed that Union train |
| And it was one of the younger boys |
| That gathered in the spoils |
| And carried that money away |
| In his small home unaware |
| A-straightening pictures there |
| He thought he heard a noise |
| And as he turned his head |
| Well, the bullet killed him dead |
| Fired by Bob Ford, one of the boys |
| Poor Jesse had a wife |
| She lived a lady all her life |
| The children they were brave |
| But history does record |
| That Bob and Charlie Ford |
| Have laid poor Jesse, laid poor Jesse |
| Have laid Jesse James in his grave |
