Jesse James Lyrics

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Jesse James

Jesse James was a man who killed may a man
But he came to his rest at last
He step around on the floor with little Robert Ford
And Jesse was shot out on the slide

Old Jesse, Jesse had a wife, a lady all her life
And children she raised to be grown
But that dirty little coward that shot mr Howard
Has laid poor Jessie in his grave
