Verse
D# G#
Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man,

He'd a hand and a heart and a brain.

Three children, they were brave;

But the dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
D# A# D#
Has laid Jesse James in his grave.
[Verse 2]
D# G#
It was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward,

D# A# D#
Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave.
[Chorus]

And stopped the Glendale train.
[Chorus]

It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James.

lt was his brother Frank that robbed the Gallatin bank,

For they shot Captain Sheets to the ground.

They went to the crossing not very far from there,
D# A#
And there they did the same;
D# G#
With the agent on his knees, he delivered up the keys

To the outlaws, Frank and Jesse James.

And laid poor Jesse in his grave.

He shot poor Jesse on the sly.
