Lyrics
Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man He robbed the Danville train But the mean little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life Three children, they were brave But the mean little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave It was Robert Ford, that mean little coward I wonder how he does feel For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life Three children, they were brave But the mean little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave Jesse went to his rest with his hand upon his breast The devil may be upon his knee He was born one day in the county of Clay And came from a solitary race Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life Three children, they were brave But the mean little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has 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 Could take Jesse James when alive Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life Three children, they were brave But this mean little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
