Jesse James - Pete Seeger[00:00:00]
Jesse James was a lad[00:00:19]
That killed many a man[00:00:21]
He robbed the Glendale train[00:00:23]
He stole from the rich[00:00:28]
And he gave to the poor[00:00:30]
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain[00:00:32]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:00:36]
To mourn for his life[00:00:39]
Three children now[00:00:41]
They were brave[00:00:42]
Well that dirty little coward[00:00:45]
That shot Mr Howard[00:00:47]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:00:49]
They were very poor[00:00:53]
Well that dirty little coward[00:00:55]
I wonder now how he feels[00:00:58]
For he ate of Jesse's bread[00:01:01]
And he slept on Jesse's bed[00:01:03]
And he laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:01:06]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:01:10]
To mourn for his life[00:01:12]
Three children now[00:01:14]
They were brave[00:01:15]
Well that dirty little coward[00:01:18]
That shot Mr Howard[00:01:20]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:01:22]
Well Jesse was a man[00:01:26]
A friend to the poor[00:01:28]
He'd never rob a mother or a child[00:01:31]
And there never was a man with[00:01:35]
The law in his hand[00:01:37]
That could take Jesse James when alive[00:01:39]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:01:43]
To mourn for his life[00:01:45]
Three children now[00:01:47]
They were brave[00:01:49]
Well that dirty little coward[00:01:51]
That shot Mr Howard[00:01:53]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:01:55]
It was on a Saturday night[00:02:16]
When the moon was shining bright[00:02:18]
They robbed the Glendale train[00:02:20]
And people they did say[00:02:24]
O'er many miles away[00:02:26]
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James[00:02:28]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:02:32]
To mourn for his life[00:02:34]
Three children now[00:02:36]
They were brave[00:02:38]
But that dirty little coward[00:02:40]
That shot Mr Howard[00:02:42]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:02:44]
Now the people held their breath[00:02:48]
When they heard of Jesse's death[00:02:50]
They wondered how he'd ever[00:02:52]
Come to fall[00:02:54]
Robert Ford it's a fact[00:02:56]
He shot Jesse in the back[00:02:58]
While Jesse hung a picture on the wall[00:03:00]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:03:04]
To mourn for his life[00:03:07]
Three children now[00:03:09]
They were brave[00:03:10]
Well that dirty little coward[00:03:12]
That shot Mr Howard[00:03:15]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:03:17]
Jesse went to rest[00:03:20]
With his head on his breast[00:03:23]
The devil will upon his knee[00:03:25]
He was born one day[00:03:29]
In the County Clay[00:03:31]
And he came from a[00:03:33]
Solitary race[00:03:34]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:03:37]
To mourn for his life[00:03:39]
Three children now[00:03:41]
They were brave[00:03:43]
Well that dirty little coward[00:03:45]
That shot Mr Howard[00:03:47]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:03:49]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:04:09]
To mourn for his life[00:04:11]
Three children now[00:04:13]
They were brave[00:04:15]
Well that dirty little coward[00:04:17]
That shot Mr Howard[00:04:19]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:04:21]
