The Kingston Trio - Jesse james

^GFrank and Jesse James were products of their environment They were sent out ^Dinto the woods by their parents to forage for berries ^G Truffles, rutabagas and ^Croots of all sorts ^G Put yourself in their place, ^Dyou'd a been mean too ^G

When Jesse James was a lad he ^Ckilled many a man He ^Grobbed the Glendale ^Dtrain And the ^Gpeople they did say for ^Cmany miles away It was ^Grobbed by ^DFrank and Jesse ^GJames

Poor ^CJesse had a wife who ^Gmourned for his life Three children, they were ^Dbrave But that ^Gdirty little coward who ^Cshot Mister Howard Has ^Glaid poor ^DJesse in his ^Ggrave

It was on a Saturday night, if ^CI remember right When they ^Grobbed that Glendale ^Dtrain It was ^Gone of the Younger boys who ^Cgathered in the spoils And he ^Gcarried Jesse's ^Dmonies a^Gway

Poor ^CJesse had a wife who ^Gmourned for his life Three children, they were ^Dbrave But that ^Gdirty little coward who ^Cshot Mister Howard Has ^Glaid poor ^DJesse in his ^Ggrave

He was standin' on a chair just a-^Cdustin' pictures there ^G He thought he heard a ^Dnoise When he ^Gturned his head around, why that ^Cbullet smacked him down And it ^Glaid poor ^DJesse on the ^Gfloor

Poor ^CJesse had a wife who ^Gmourned for his life Three children, they were ^Dbrave But that ^Gdirty little coward who ^Cshot Mister Howard Has ^Glaid poor ^DJesse in his ^Ggrave

Jesse robbed from the poor and he ^Cgave to the rich He ^Gnever did a friendly ^Dthing And ^Gwhen his best friend died, he was ^Cright there by her side And he ^Glifted off her ^Dgolden wedding ^Gring

Poor ^CJesse had a wife who ^Gmourned for his life Three children, they were ^Dbrave But that ^Gdirty little coward who ^Cshot Mister Howard Has ^Glaid poor ^DJesse in his ^Ggrave
