Jesse James - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man

He robbed the Glendale train

He took from the rich and he gave to the poor

He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

It was on a Saturday night and the moon was shining bright

They robbed the Glendale train

Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

Now the people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death

And wondered how he ever came to fall

Robert Ford It was a fact shot Jesse in the back

While Jesse hung a picture on the wall

Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

Jesse was a man a friend to the poor

He'd never rob a mother or a child

He took from the rich and he gave to the poor

Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

Well Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children now they were brave

Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
