Jesse James was a man and he killed many men

He robbed the Glendale Train

he took from the rich and he gave that to the poor

He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

three children they were so brave

but that dirty little coward

that shot Mr. Howard

has laid Jesse James in his grave
