BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Jesse James lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Jesse James was a lad <br>

That killed many a man <br>

He robbed the Glendale train <br>

He stole from the rich <br>

And he gave to the poor <br>

He'd a hand and a heart and a brain <br>

<br>

Well it was Robert Ford <br>

That dirty little coward <br>

I wonder now how he feels <br>

For he ate of Jesse's bread <br>

And he slept in Jesse's bed <br>

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave <br>

<br>

Well Jesse had a wife <br>

To mourn for his life <br>

Three children <br>

Now they were brave <br>

Well that dirty little coward <br>

That shot Mr. Howard <br>

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave <br>

<br>

Well now Jesse was a man <br>

A friend to the poor <br>

He'd never rob a mother or a child <br>

There never was a man with <br>

the law in his hand <br>

That could take Jesse James when alive <br>

<br>

It was on a Saturday night <br>

Yeah the moon was <br>

shinin' bright <br>

They robbed <br>

the Glendale train <br>

And the people they did say <br>

o'er many miles away <br>

It was those outlaws yeah Frank <br>

and Jesse James <br>

<br>

Well Jesse had a wife <br>

To mourn for his life <br>

Three children <br>

Now they were brave <br>

Well that dirty little coward <br>

That shot Mr. Howard <br>

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave <br>

<br>

Now the people held <br>

their breath <br>

When they heard of <br>

Jesse's death <br>

They wondered how <br>

he'd ever come to fall <br>

Robert Ford it was a fact <br>

He shot Jesse in the back <br>

While Jesse hung a picture <br>

on a wall <br>

<br>

Now Jesse went to rest with <br>

his hand on his breast <br>

The devil upon his knee <br>

he was born one day in <br>

the County Clay <br>

And he came from <br>

a solitary race <br>

<br>

Well Jesse had a wife <br>

To mourn for his life <br>

Three children <br>

Now they were brave <br>

Well that dirty little coward <br>

That shot Mr. Howard <br>

And he laid poor Jesse in his grave<br>

<BR><BR>
