He killed many a man
|
And he roamed over the Scarsdale range
|
Robbin' from the rich
|
And givin' to the poor
|
He was dark and cold and full of rage
|
Oh yes he was, sing with me
|
Poor Jesse had a wife
|
To mourn for his life
|
And three children
|
They were oh so brave
|
But that dirty little coward
|
He went and shot Mr. Howard
|
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah
|
|
It was on a Saturday night
|
When Jesse was at home
|
Talking to old railroad Jed
|
Along come Robert Ford
|
Like a theif in the night
|
And he shot poor Jesse in the back
|
|
Poor Jesse had a wife
|
To mourn for his life
|
Three children
|
They were oh so brave
|
But that dirty little coward
|
He went and shot Mr. Howard
|
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah
|
He lays
|
Six feet under the ground
|
