Jesse James |
When Jesse James was a lad he killed many-a man. |
He robbed the Glendale train. |
And the people they did say for many miles away. |
It was robbed by Frank and |
Jesse James. |
Chorus: |
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life, three children, they were brave. |
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard has laid poor Jesse in his |
grave. |
It was on a Saturday night if I remember right when they robbed that Glendale |
train. |
It was one of the Younger boys who gathered in the spoils and he carried |
Jesse’s monies away. |
(Chorus) |
He was standin' on a chair just a-dustin' pictures there. |
He thought he heard a noise (Yeah, what did he do?) |
When he turned his head around, why that bullet smacked him down and it laid |
poor Jesse on the floor. |
(Chorus) |
Jesse robbed from the poor and he gave to the rich. |
He never did a friendly |
thing. |
And when his best friend died he was right there by her side and he lifted off |
her golden wedding ring. |
(Chorus) |
