Jessie James

verse 1 When Jesse James was a lad heâ??d 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. Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life Three children - they were brave and true But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave verse 2 It was on a Saturday night if I remember it 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. Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life Three children - they were brave and true But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave verse 3 He was standing on a chair just a dustin pictures there. He thought he heard a noise. When he turned his head around then a bullet smacked him down And it laid poor Jesse on the floor. Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life Three children - they were brave and true But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave verse 4 Jesse robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor He never did an un-friendly thing And when his best friend died he was right there by her side And he lifted off her golden wedding ring. Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life Three children - they were brave and true But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
