Jesse James The Pogues

[Verse 1]
Jesse James, we understand, has killed him many a man
He robbed the Union trains
He stole from the rich, he gave to the poor
He had a hand and a heart and a brain

[Verse 2]
Well, it was on Saturday night, the stars were shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And the people they did say for many miles away
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James

[Chorus]
Now Jesse had a wife, lived a lady all her life
Her children, they were brave
Ah, but history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse in his grave

[Verse 3]
Well, it was Bob and Charlie Ford, those dirty little cowards
I wonder how they feel
For they ate of Jesse's bread, they slept in Jesse's bed
They laid poor Jesse in his grave

[Chorus]
Now Jesse had a wife, lived a lady all her life
Her children, they were brave
Ah, but history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford
Have laid poor Jesse in his grave
