  S1:
  Jesse James was a lad 

  That killed many a man 

  He robbed the Glendale train 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x- 

  He stole from the rich 

  And he gave to the poor 

  He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

  S2:
  Well it was Robert Ford 

  That dirty little coward 

  Wonder now how he feels 

  ----x---x---x x---x- 

  For he ate of Jesse's bread 

  And he slept in Jesse's bed 

  And he laid poor Jesse in his grave 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x-

  Well Jesse had a wife 

  To mourn for his life 

  Three children now they were brave 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x- 

  Well that dirty little coward 

  That shot Mr. Howard 

  He laid poor Jesse in his grave

  S3:
  Well Jesse was a man 

  A friend to the poor 

  He'd never rob a mother or a child 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x- 

  There never was a man  

  With the law in his hand 

  That could take Jesse James when alive

  S4:
  It was on a Sunday night 

  Well the moon was shining bright 

  They robbed the Glendale train 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x---x 

  People they did say  

  O'er many miles away 

  It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James

  S5:
  People held their breath 

  When they heard of Jesse's death 

  They wondered how he'd ever come to fall 

  ----x---x---x x---x- 

  Robert Ford it was a fact 

  He shot Jesse in the back 

  While Jesse hung a picture on the wall

  S6:
  Jesse went to rest  

  With his head on his breast 

  The devil upon his knee 

  ----x---x---x x---x---x- 

  He was born one day  

  In County Clay 

  And he came from a solitary race
