Jesse James was a lad
He killed many a man
He robbed the Glendale train
Till that dirty little coward
Shot Mr. Howard
And laid Jesse in his grave
Jesse James he was a lad
And he killed many a man
He robbed the Union train
He robbed the rich and he gave to the poor
He had a hand, a heart and a brain
It was on a Saturday night
While the moon was shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And the people they did say
From many miles away
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James
Yeah, Jesse James he had a wife
To love him all his life
His children they were brave
And the history books record
It was Bob and Charlie Ford
That laid poor Jesse in his grave
It was those dirty little cowards
Bob and Charlie Ford
I wonder how they feel
For they ate Jesse's bread
They slept in Jesse's bed
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Yeah, Jesse James he had a wife
To love him all his life
His children they were brave
And the history books record
It was Bob and Charlie Ford
That laid poor Jesse in his grave
Well the people held their breath
When they heard of Jesse's death
And they wondered how he came to fall
It was Robert Ford in fact
That shot him in the back
While he hung a picture on the wall
Yeah, Jesse James he had a wife
To love him all his life
His children they were brave
And the history books record
It was Bob and Charlie Ford
That laid poor Jesse in his grave
Yeah, Jesse James he had a wife
To love him all his life
His children they were brave
And the history books record
It was Bob and Charlie Ford
That laid poor Jesse in his grave
