Jesse James

G                   C            
When Jesse James was a lad he 
                            D
killed many-a man. He robbed the 
Glendale train.
          G                      C
And the people they did say for 
                        G         
many miles away. It was robbed by 
D               G
Frank and Jesse James.

Chorus:
       C                     G    
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned 
for his life, three children, they 
       D
were brave.
           G                    
But that dirty little coward who 
  C                       G    
shot Mister Howard has laid poor 
     D            G
Jesse in his grave.

It was on a Saturday night if I 
remember 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.

(Chorus)

He was standin' on a chair just 
a-dustin' pictures there. He thought
 he heard a noise (Yeah, what did he
 do?)
When he turned his head around, why 
that bullet smacked him down and it 
laid poor Jesse on the floor.

(Chorus)

Jesse robbed from the poor and he 
gave to the rich. He never did a 
friendly thing.
And when his best friend died he was
 right there by her side and he 
lifted off her golden wedding ring.

(Chorus)
