Jesse James Lyrics by Mungo Jerry

Snakebite

0

Now Jesse James was a man who killed many men
He robbed the Glendale train
All the folks from round about said, "Yes, without a doubt
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James"
Chorus:
Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward that shot him, Mr Ford
And he laid Jesse James in his grave
It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was shining bright
That I robbed the Glendale train
All the folks from round about said, "Yes, without a doubt
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James"
Repeat Chorus:
It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was shining bright
Jesse was talking to his family brave
When along came Robert Ford like a thief in the black
And he shot Jesse James in the back
