Jesse James, we understand, has killed many a man
He robbed the Union trains
He stole from the rich, he gave to the poor
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain
Well, it was on Saturday night, the stars were shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And the people they did say for many miles away
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James
Now, Jesse had a wife, lived a lady all her life
And children they were brave
But history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse in his grave
Well, it was Bob and Charlie Ford
Those dirty little cowards, I wonder how they feel
For they ate of Jesse's bread and they slept in Jesse's bed
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Now, Jesse had a wife, lived a lady all her life
And children they were brave
But history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse in his grave
Now, Jesse had a wife, lived a lady all her life
And children they were brave
But history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse in his grave
Well, the people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death
They wondered how he'd come to fall
Well, it was Robert Ford in fact who shot him in the back
While he hung a picture on the wall
Now, Jesse had a wife, lived a lady all her life
And children they were brave
But history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse in his grave
But history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse, laid poor Jesse
Have laid Jesse James in his grave
