(Recitation) Frank and Jesse James were products of
their environment. They were sent out into the woods by their parents to forage for berries,
truffles, rutabagas, and roots of all sorts. Put yourself in their place...you'da been mean
too!
When Jesse James was a lad he killed many-a man. He robbed the Glendale train.
And
the people they did say for many miles away. It was robbed by Frank and Jesse
James.
Chorus:
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life, three children, they
were brave.
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard has laid poor Jesse in his
grave.
It was on a Saturday night if I remember right when they robbed that Glendale
train.
It was one of the Younger boys who gathered in the spoils and he carried Jesse's monies
away.
(Chorus)
He was standin' on a chair just a-dustin' pictures there. He
thought he heard a noise (Yeah, what did he do?)
When he turned his head around, why that bullet
smacked him down and it laid poor Jesse on the floor.
(Chorus)
Jesse robbed from
the poor and he gave to the rich. He never did a friendly thing.
And when his best friend died
he was right there by her side and he lifted off her golden wedding ring.
(Chorus) | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
