D Jesse James was a man who G rambled through the land
And he D robbed many a bank and A7 train
He D was the leader man of a G bold and reckless band
And D many are the A7 people that were D slain.
CHORUS:
But, no G more Jesse James; No D more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his A7 grave
Jesse D went and turned his head; little G Bobby shot him dead
And they D laid poor A7 Jesse in his D grave.
INSTRUMENTAL:...
Now Jesse had a wife, who mourned all her life
Because of Jesse's evil ways
But she couldn't stay his hand or stop the robber band
Her grief made her old and gray.
CHORUS
But the end it came at last, from a bullet quick and fast
From a comrade he trusted in his band
And the deed they said was just, when they laid him in the dust
He had been such a terror in the land.
