GJesse James we understand

 Has Ckilled many a Gman

The stars were shining bright

They robbed the Glendale train

And the people they did say

for many miles away

It was those outlays

Frank and Jesse James

CNow Jesse had a wife

 Lived a Glady all her life

 And children they wereD brave

GBut history does record

 That CBob and Charlie GFord

 Have laid poor DJesse in his Ggrave

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

And 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
