Jes-se James was a lad who killed man-y a man,
Once he robbed the Glen-dale train,
He would steel from the rich
he would give to the poor,
Had a hand and a heart and a brain.
chorus
Poor Jes-se had a wife to mourn for his life
Three chil-dren, they were brave
But the dirt-y lit-tle cow-ard
who shot Jim-my How-ard
Has laid poor Jes-se in his grave
