I'll tell you about jesse and frank james[00:00:00]

My grandfather was personally acquainted with them[00:00:03]

My grandfather lived in the southern edge of baxter county arkansas[00:00:07]

And they stayed all night with him lots of nights[00:00:11]

And my grandfather told me there was a lot of those robberies that was layed to jesse and frank james[00:00:15]

And he knew they didn't do it cause they was at his place when it happened[00:00:20]

But you couldn't tell the public that[00:00:25]

When they get their minds made up that somebody's done something[00:00:30]

Why the public's gonna stick to it anyway[00:00:33]

My grandfather he knew them as boys[00:00:36]

And they could come to his place and go without anybody paying attention cause nobody expected them[00:00:38]

Down in arkansas see cause they was from missouri[00:00:44]

Now that's the story that my grandfather told me when i was just a boy[00:00:49]

And he said that frank james at that world's fair [00:00:55]

I think it was 1901 in st louis him and jesse were both there[00:00:58]

My grandfather and frank james were together there[00:01:03]

And that frank james offered to bring jesse there alive[00:01:07]

He said that the man that the ford boys killed wasn't jesse james at all[00:01:12]

But the fellow they killed was just about the size of jesse and he was red headed[00:01:17]

And he wasn't any relation to the fords[00:01:21]

See jesse james was a known cousin to charles and bob ford[00:01:24]

That's what my grandfather said[00:01:28]

He said jesse and frank were not even in that part of the country when that fellow was killed[00:01:32]

And the ford boys why they collected a thousand dollars for killing jesse james [00:01:38]

Now the song says that the ford boys killed jesse[00:01:46]

None of us up here in the mountains believe that no sir[00:01:51]
