Verse 1
Jesse James (D major) was a lad
that killed (G major) many a (D major) man
He robbed with the Glendale train
(A major) He stole from (D major) the rich
and he (G major) gave to the poor
(D major) He'd a hand and a (A major) heart and a (D major) brain
Oh, (G major) Jesse had a wife
to (D major) mourn for his life
Three children they were afraid (A major)
But that (D major) dirty little car that shot (G major) Mr. (D major) Hart
Was laid (A major) poor Jesse in his grave
(D major) It was Robert Ford, that (G major) dirty little car, (D major)
I wonder how he does feel (A major)
For he (D major) ate of Jesse's bread
and he slept (G major) in Jesse's (D major) bed
Then he laid poor Jesse (A major) in his (D major) grave
For Jesse (G major) had a wife
to (D major) mourn for his life,
his children they were (A major) brave
Hoped a (D major) dirty little car
that had (G major) shodded Mr. (D major) Howard
Had a lid (A major) for Jesse and he was (D major) free
Now Jesse was a man,
a friend (G major) to the (D major) poor
He'd never rob a mother or her (A major) child
And there nev (D major) er was a man
with the (G major) law in his hand
(D major) That could take Jesse James (A major) when alive
(D major) Oh, (G major) Jesse had a wife
who (D major) mourned for his life
Three children, they were (A major) brave
But the dirty little (D major) car that (G major) shot Mr. (D major) Howard
Has laid (A major) poor Jesse in his grave (D major)
(G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
(D major)
It was on a Saturday night,
the (G major) moon was shining bright, (D major)
They robbed the Glendale train, (A major)
And the people (D major) they did save,
Were many (G major) miles (A major) away,
T (D major) 'was those outlaws,
Brian and (A major) Jesse James. (D major)
Oh, (G major) Jesse had a wife
to (D major) mourn for his life,
Three children they were rich, (A major)
But the dirty (D major) little car that (G major) shot up Mr. (D major) Hyre
Had laid poor Jesse (A major) in his (D major) grave
Now the people held their breath
when they (G major) heard of Jesse's (D major) death
They wondered how he'd
ever come to fall (A major)
Robert Ford, it (D major) was a fact,
shot Jesse (G major) in the back (D major)
While Jesse hung a (A major) picture on the (D major) wall
Oh, (G major) Jesse had a wife
(A major) that (D major) mourned for his life
His children never free (A major)
But the dirty little (D major) coward
that (G major) shot Mr. (D major) Howard
Had a lid for Jesse (A major) in his grave (D major)
Now Jesse went to rest
with his (G major) hand on his breast
(D major) The devil will be upon his knee
(A major) He was born (D major) one day in
the (G major) county of Clay, (D major)
And he came from a (A major) solitary race. (D major)
Oh, (G major) Jesse had a wife
who mourned (D major) for his (A major) life,
(D major) These children they were brave. (A major)
The dirty little (D major) cowardly (G major) shot Mr. (D major) Howard
Had laid poor (A major) Jesse in his (D major) grave.
This song was made up by (G major) Billy Gashade
(D major) As soon as the news did ar (A major) rive
He said (D major) there was no man
with a (G major) law in his hand
(D major) That could take Jesse
James (A major) when alive (D major)
Oh, (G major) Jesse had a wife
(A major) who mourned (D major) for his life
Three children, they were brave (A major)
But the (D major) dirty little coward
that (G major) shot Mr. (D major) Howard
Has laid poor Jesse (A major) in his grave
