Jesse James Bruce Springsteen

[Verse 1]
Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man
He robbed the Glendale train
He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

Well it was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward
I wonder how he feel
For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed
Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave

[Chorus]
Well, Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children now they were brave
Well, that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
He laid poor Jesse in his grave

[Verse 2]
Jesse was a man, a friend to the poor
He'd never rob a mother or a child
There never was a man with the law in his hand
That could take Jesse James alive

It was on a Saturday night and the moon was shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And people they did say over many miles away
It was those outlaws, they're Frank and Jesse James
