Jesse james

Jesse James was a man who rambled through the land
And he robbed many a bank and train
He was the leader man of a bold and reckless band
And many are the people that were slain.

But, no more Jesse James no more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse went and turned his head Little Bobby shot him dead
And they laid poor Jesse in his grave.

Now Jesse had a wife who mourned all her life
Because of Jesse's evil ways
But she couldn't stay his hand or stop the robber band
Her grief made her old and gray.

But, no more Jesse James no more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse went and turned his head Little Bobby shot him dead
And they laid poor Jesse in his grave.

--- Instrumental ---

But the end it came at last from a bullet quick and fast
From a comrade he trusted in his band
And the deed they said was just when they laid him in the dust
He had been such a terror in the land.

But, no more Jesse James no more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse went and turned his head Little Bobby shot him dead
And they laid poor Jesse in his grave.
