Jesse James - Pete Seeger
Written by：Alan Lomax/Traditional

Jesse James was a lad
He 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

Oh Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life

Three children they were brave

That dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
He laid poor Jesse in his grave

It was on a Saturday night
And the moon
Was shining bright

They robbed the Glendale train

For the agent on his knees delivered up the keys
To the outlaws Frank an' Jesse James

Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were brave

But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Joward
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

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

They wondered how he ever come to fall

Robert Ford it was a fact

Shot Jesse in the back

While Jesse hung a picture on the wall

Oh Jesse had a wife

To mourn for his life

Three children
They were brave

Well that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
He 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

He shot Jesse James on the sly

Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children
They were brave

But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard

He's laid poor Jesse in his grave

This song was made by Billy Gashade
As soon as the news did arrive

He said there was no man with the law in his hand
Who could take Jesse James alive

Oh Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life

Three children
They were brave

Well that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
He laid poor Jesse in his grave

Oh Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
Three children
They were brave

Well that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
He's laid poor Jesse in his grave
