  • Remember... history is written by the victors, in this case the Union. Americans no longer question that the civil war was about slavery. There was more to it than that. History books ignore the fact that the northern industrial complex could not afford to lose the resources of the south due to secession. Quantrill, Bloody Bill, the James boys saw redlegs kill, burn & plunder western MO for years prior to war, much like the US treated native americans. The greedy villains wore blue, not gray.

  • was he shot in the back?

  • @Addiskrilla

    he got shot while dusting off a picture, in the back of his head.

  • Has anybody figured out who did this song?

  • Jesse James! Ride on! No regrets!

  • Is it warren zevon?

  • classic!!!!greets from Poland

  • I am distantly related to this man.

  • I am a Frank James fan myself.But either is good.

  • @bazzatheblue both are better deaD

  • @paragtime probably right.

  • Does NOBODY know the name of the band that perfoms this song? :-/

  • who sings this song

  • Jesse james went out and took what he wanted when so many didn't have the gut to do it! Takeing from the rich giveing to the poor.

  • great song. even im not a native american, theres no way I wouldnt empathize with this way of life.

  • theres an album with Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash, Emmy Lou Harris n others telling the whole story, dont know the name right off hand but check it out

  • @emancipateyourself I believe it's the companion LP to White Mansions and his called the Legend of Jesse James..You can find it on EBAY as a double CD.

  • "Here's to livin', here's to dyin', and... here's to hell". Good song.

  • I don't know about you guys, but this will be probably the first comment about the song itself and not the background.

    Really good song, makes me want to have a whiskey! derp

  • @curbhash Jessie James was actully alot like that. If you knew him you loved him, he was the kinda guy to give you respect if you desurved it. But if you Showed him anything else he showed you the fastes way to dig a hole. Jessie was a robin hood in every sense of the meaning

  • long live frank and jessie james and the younger bros true heroes of the south they shoukd build a memorial to them.ride on jesse ride on.

  • jesse james corazon rebelde

  • Jessie James reminds me of a bush ranger we had in Australia, a young man named Ned Kelly. He was an extremely ballsy "out-law" who took on the corrupt establishment and really stuck it to 'em. Like Jessie, Ned also rode with his brothers and mates. If Jessie and Ned had lived on the same continent and met, I'm sure they would've been soul mates. Bless their out-law hearts!

  • Im distant kin of Jesse James.

  • @NeonPenDragon my grander mother was first cousins with bonni, not clyde, just bonnie

  • @NeonPenDragon Me too, im proud to say it too

  • The North Won!!!!!

  • This is fae a scotsman........... jesse had the same problems we had for 500 years

    dam english

  • Love the photo of him in his bushwhacker vestments.

  • ich weiß nicht ob jesse frank cole und bob und wie sie alle hießen helden waren oder nicht aber die haben etwas versucht zu ändern (vieleicht nicht immer mit vernünftigen mehtoden aber es war auch keine vernünftige zeit) ETWAS AUF DER WELT (GERADE KORRUPTION) KANN MAN NUR VERSUCHEN ZU ANDERN WENN MAN UNVERNÜNFTIG UND MUTIG ZUGLEICH IST

  • What is the name of band that did this song?Gotta have a copy!

  • william wallace ( scottish ) 500 years before jesse. ( mel gibson is a bitch )

  • Jesse was a tough man, but Butch and Sundance could've taken him.

  • @Theapperition hell it would have been hard for butch and sundance to "take him" while high tailing it to south america dumbass

  • isn't it so weird that really Jesse James was an evil man who if someone like him were around now killing people robbing banks we would hate him. but we all love him and respect him because hes from the past? its just kinda weird if u think about it

  • @calebinoutlook because we are beaten weak pussies who don't think for themselves

  • @calebinoutlook -Well said. Because it's history the story gets dressed up & criminals look like heroes for some reason. If someone would do the same thing tommorrow we would watch it on the news & say "I hope they get that asshole." Really, when enough time has passed, it's quite easy to make a dead person into something that they never were.

  • @calebinoutlook jESSIE JAMES WAS NOT EVIL. YOU ARE MISS-INFORMED.

  • @SisterLilli lol. yes he was

  • @calebinoutlook OH LOL LOL No, he was NOT!!! You've got some history to read, Honey child!

  • @Laurisa718 yes, he was. and "honey child"? what the fuck?

    jesse james was evil. maybe YOU should read some more history. during the Civil War he was a bushwacker. he would kill men and then scalp them and tie their scalps to his saddle.

    yea. hes a good guy

  • @calebinoutlook Yeah? It's a thing call WAR! Not pretty! Read about the shit that goes on in war before???

  • @calebinoutlook During the civil war both sides were very brutal to there enemys thats the way war was back then. It was a totally different time era obiviously and back then war meant fuckin war they showed no mercy on both sides. Jesse James did alot of things but if your gonna say he was bad guy because he killed men in the civil war and scalped them and all that then thats a wrong reason to say he's a bad guy. Because in the civil war on both sides alot of people did things worse then that.

  • @nywarlord87 he also did it afterwards but you wouldn't care about that

  • @paragtime Yea I know he killed people after that but back then especially in those areas of the United States things like that weren't that uncommon. There were alot more people back then who did alot more bad then Jesse James. I'm not sayin he was a good guy or a bad guy. I was just saying you can't judge him for what he did in the civil war. His time era was over a 100 yrs ago and there's always two sides to every story.

  • @nywarlord87 And If he did kill unarmed innocent people then I think that's wrong but like I said I can't judge the man because there's no real proof that he did. I know he robbed banks and stuff but think about it if we all lived in that time era. Who knows what we would of been doing back then. There was only like one law man in each town and there were tons of Outlaw Gunslingers all through the west. So it was easy for people to end up in that life style.

  • @calebinoutlook Well even today if you think about it alot of people still root for the bankrobbers as long as they don't kill anybody in the process of doin it. I know Jesse James killed people but what real proof does anybody have that he killed innocent people durin a bank rob. Its one thing if somone trys to take him down and pulls a gun on him then of course he's gonna do wat he has to do to get away. But im not sayin he didn't kill innocent ppl but i don't see any real proof.

  • Ah yes the man who tortured, burned, scalped and massacred unarmed soldiers and civilians...what a hero.....

  • @duneranger , well those soldiers got what was comin' to 'em.

  • @appalachiangrayback Oh ya? Pretty rough and tough killing those guys unarmed Yanks (just as pathetic to Quantrill) on leave huh...Figures...Your name is Appalachian, nothing comes form the Appalachians excepts poverty, ignorance and incest. I am usually sympathetic to the South's cause, but not for shitholes like those guys.

  • @duneranger wow, you should read more. Appalachia is where real men are from, not puppets

  • @bdhwowq1try Real men? I didn't know fucking your sister and picking up a welfare check made you a real man.

  • @duneranger tap yourself on the ear and get that goddam sand out of your head

  • @duneranger You've been to the middle east, you've seen the treachery and lies, same shit happened here

  • @bdhwowq1try What?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Jesse James king of the confederacy!

  • @kbach7 we never wanted a king, or a federal succubus

  • @kbach7 MURDERER

  • @kbach7 hardly

  • Obviously it was split three different ways. So what?

    Back then there was no FDIC. When Jesse stole money from the banks, the FDIC wasn't there to put money back in people's accounts. Jesse was stealing from everyone who had money in the bank. It didn't matter what political view you had, if your bank got robbed, you had less money in your account.

  • Jesse was a coward. You tough talking Missourians with your guns all laid on the floor and let him rob your banks. Why else would the gangs demise be in Minnesota, where most people didn't have guns. Even the sheriff of Northfield wasn't carrying a gun that day. The James Younger gang was given a beating by people with stones and shotguns loaded with bird shot.

  • @jacobdkeller .....You do understand that the state of Missouri was politically split three different ways during the heyday of the James gang therein dont you?

  • Bass Reeves'd kick this guy's ass.

  • @SomeBlokeLol I'm not sure if you're serious or not, because all the movies about Jesse James kicks that movie's ass.

  • We will never know the real history of Jesse James -the winners write the history.

    The South lost the war of Nothern Aggression, so it will be forever demonised by the victors, Lincoln was a railroad man, a corporation lawyer, a prototype for the modern politicla class scum that rule the US and in Western Europe. And wha ta mess they are making of it.

  • @Jigaboo123456 i allways would like to start a james gang again your friend ben cook

  • @Jigaboo123456 i want to start another james gang ben cook

  • he is a true missouri hero and a native. Im getting a Jesse James Tattoo. not because he was a robber an murder because he fucking stood for the forgotn southren state. Missouri. we are just a southren as alabama. and we cook the best meth on the planet. lol

  • Respect, but get a You tattoo.

  • @MrTomJenkins He was infact a murderer as well as a robber - as far as a hero - well all blown up out of proportion.

  • @malcjow your stupid

  • Excellent!!!

    Grandma mary

  • A++ Great Song Thanks!!!

  • Good lyrics...DAMN good.

  • very very beautiful song...who is the singer??? please

  • IF YOU FIND OUT PLEASE TELL ME

  • I don't know; I want to find out how I can download it. I can't seem to run across it anywhere except right here.

  • if anyone wants this as an MP3, let me know, I'm more than happy to run it through Audacity, and export it (convert it) to MP3 for anyone.

  • @Tiargus1 find a piece of s'ware called FreeStudioManager. With it you can dnload from utube and convert audio to mp3. Its free, google it, I'm sure you can find it

  • Oh, ok thanks! Didn't have any idea you could do that.

  • People really should not talk about what they got no idea what their talking about. Only a few people in our history lived free as Jesse did, we should all be so lucky friends.

  • i really wanna know whos sings this its sick.

  • and we still fighting today

  • goodati69200 im still fightin know u r lets be champions thats how it is thats how it ends thre broadsides board em in the smoke lets teach em how it aught ta be fuck the feds but fuck the state too jeff city dont need to teach me how to be

  • They were Soldiers

    Soldiers fighting for what they believed in a free America

    CSA

  • No the were not like Manson, they were a by-product of the Civil War however they weren't the best boys in the niegborhood either but not

    warped like Manson. hey however didn't seem alcoholic just addicted to the adrenaline of war.

  • Frank taught school under the alias of Harman at Sinking Springs Kentucky,

    thats where my gr gr Grandmother

    went to school and that was my gr Grandfather's name and first son born and out of wed lock later married with many more kids.

    Makes me wonder?

  • WHO SINGS THIS SONG

  • As another ancester of Frank and Jesse..I say DO NOT compare Jesse to Charles Manson EVER.

  • only jayhawk redlegs would compare him to charles manson the bluecoats burned him outta his lands so he roobed their banks stages and railroads shouldna burned him out yankee fuckers

  • u suspect wrong :)

  • why would manson be a hero his band fought for nuthin jesse jeames the last spartan fought for his lands for his kin for his county manson was a megolamanic so was jesse but jesse was a warrior manson prefered to let others do his killin he was a coward jesse james killed up front point blank kill or be killed he was at war with those who would tread on his lands without permision as ol temujin kahn once said a mans lands r those he can hold he didnt mean with his hands he meant with his heart

  • lmao charles manson had 6 7 followers? JESSE JAMES WAS HIDDEN BY HALF A STATE people belevied in him manson was and is for himself james was for the community and like a pirate he profited breifly from his banditry the guy who said bob fords a hero LMAO if a pinkerton man shot james down that would be a hero ford was a member of the later gang blatant coward tried to profit off his cowardly deed james faced the best the union had to offer abd never surrendered

  • Great song, good voice....Thanxxx

  • great

    Jesse, Frank James , Cole , Jim , Bob Younger true american heros not to forget the millers that road with them and the greatest leader General Joe Shelby who refused the loyalty oath Bloody Bill killed only about a 1/4 mile from were i was raised Missouri heros as well as American Heros

  • @xsmattx AND DONT FORGET THE DALTONS! PEACE FRIEND

  • Jesse James, a true warrior of the South, took the fight to the enemy, and beat them, time and again! He refused to be reconstructed at the whim of Yankess, and used his life to defend his family and honor. He hit them where it hurt the most, in the pocketbook. Jesse James will always be a hero in the eyes of those who know the truth. Everyone else can go straight to hell.

  • I agree, a true hero.

  • @skypilott2 your very wrong....he was a coward and a killer he abused and insulted the young robert ford into killing him because he knew he could not outrun the law forever so he turned his back and before he was shot knowing that his reputation would stay while the life of robert ford would be in shame and soon enough be destroyed....he was an evil man

  • @theman8083

    You are OBVIOUSLY FULL OF SHIT! SHUT UP!!

  • @SisterLilli ???? full of shit? so your taking up for a cold blooded killer? please explain to me because im so called ''obviously full of shit'' explain to me how im full of shit

  • @theman8083 I am from Missouri, Jesse is family. For every bad story you can drudge up I can tell you a great one about them.

  • @theman8083 please, you speak as if they were demi-gods and not men

  • @skypilott2 I couldnt agree more!! I am from Missouri and he is in our family tree.

    For real!

  • @SisterLilli, I am truly in awe of your bloodline. Jesse James was one of the most heroic persons ever to walk the earth...his cause, indeed his life, was about righting the wrongs perpertrated upon him and his family. Most people today have no idea what he, or the times he represented, were about. Too bad for them!

  • @SisterLilli i know! im also related to him..and NO you cant make a good story about someone who would put random people on their knees and blow their brains out

  • Not an American, Ive just recently come across the legend of Jesse James but in everything Ive read or watched thus far the only proven facts are those that he robbed, and killed innocent people..with the notion that it was because hes fighting against the north and doing it for the poor, but all evidence seems to point to the fact that only Jesse and his gang would profit off these crimes. Is there a good book about this or movie which is considered to be most factual, Please reccomend folks!

  • @thabottomline

    I recommend a book by Donald Gilmore: CIVIL WAR ON THE MISSOURI-KANSAS BORDER. The fact is, the War of Northern Aggression started before armies faced each other on battlefields and extended beyond the surrender of the Confederate government. The true stories of the people involved in this conflict are richer and more complex than the politically correct official depictions. I like that you emphasize facts. Facts along with time and context can lead to much truth.

  • @skypilott2 I`am all glad all you morons live down south . You must not be able to read . James was a cold blooded killer & a coward . Robert E Lee would have had him hung . His family was one of the richest , and biggest slave owners in the little dixie section a long thr river . I feel sorry for the people around you , When you find out there is no easter bunny either .

  • @yogi1944 <- Speaking of "morons", how's that "hopey changey" thing working out for you?  :)

  • @yogi1944 need to be glad your sorry ass is in yankee land cuz there is atleast one reb left that can give you what you want

  • No regrets i am related to jesse james my last name is dalton look it up BITCH and they didnt find all the money it still runs through our family

  • Our history books here in the south are written by the enemy so of course he is depicted as a bad person when in truth all the men who rode under the Black Flag were heros!!

  • He robbed and shot people and apparently he's a hero. Right.

  • agreed -_- bob ford should be the hero!! lol he took out an bandit/murderer/outlaw and he got shunned for it cruel fate :(

  • Yep your so right lots of heros SHOOT PEOPLE IN THE BACK DONT THEY.

  • YES THATS HOW KINGS BECAME KINGG.

  • Jesse James if you lived his life you would have killed someone also, he was one of William C. Quantrill's men. They were just trying to protect southern Missouri families from northern aggression and Abe Lincolns sorry army of the republic, No Regrets !

  • jesse was a southern freedome fighter the rest gave up but not him

  • although he does seem pretty fucking cool, he was murderer, he deserves no compasion, only the victims of his crimes do. the movie was insane though brad pit pulled off some amazing acting

  • Yeah, who the heck sings this song?

  • Bless this man.. He was the truest form of a southern gentlemen and hero..:D

  • this song is so bad ass...it made hair grow on my chest.

  • someone must know who does this song, could someone please help me out here thnx

  • who sings this song

  • Hitler lied and brainwashed his people

  • thanks, i do try.

  • There are murderers and bad people in all countries, and the world will never be at peace, until every one of them wears a muzzle.

    But how the hell, do you make that happen, when the govt employ the police ?

  • Jesse James was from brooklyn...moved out west.

  • jesse james (aka howard) was born in missouri

  • read of the James gang crimes to gain some real insight to the man behind the legend.. cole younger served with frank and jesse in the confederate army - cole killed men, women, and children.. reflect for a moment, consider that this man committed many of these crimes as a member of the James gang - slaughtering families who witnessed crimes committed by the james gang - and you have a brutal truth before you which isnt so romantic; common murderers who butchered entire families. evil men..

  • you wanna talk about a murderer read about sherman

  • comparison is no reason

  • The men who rode and hunted these men stated that Cole saved many live's that Jesse would have murdered in cold blood. There is no record that Cole ever murdered a woman or child. Men during a robbery is a possibility. Get the facts straight, Jesse was a psychopath who commited cold blooded murder not Cole.

  • Long Live the King! Jesse James!

  • Who cares what his family did or didn't do. Hes a damn good southern man!

  • he were a foookin murderer

  • lorizh maybe some folks don't like this america a black president who has no experince in any military matters maybe some of us like that time better they certainly would not hvae allowed this to happen, damn lincoln a tyrant is what he was jesse james may be a villain to some and a hjeor but times were different u can't compare

  • i guess this guy just had balls right.....

  • god bless jesse james and the southern patriots of old its a little sad there will be no more true warriors like them anymore it was like a completely different world made up of fighters that had honor, i admire the man and ive always been told by my now deceased great grandmother that we were related to him somehow or another i don't know if it's true but im honored to have his blood if it is . r.i.p Jesse James.

  • ok i like him up to the part of his kkk involvment

  • You need to research the origins of the KKK. It was originally nothing like or about what it turned into. With him being a Confederate Soldier I fully understand his involvement with the KKK.

  • so just because he was a confederate soldier he was in the klan you yankee basstard

  • It is well known that Jesse James and Frank James got help from the KKK in Western North Carolina. He was not a member of the Klan but he received help from them because they were fellow confederate soldiers.

    Also you are the idiot I agree with the Confederate States Army far more than the principles of the Unions Army.

    You should do your history homework before you open your mouth.

  • well im very uneducated im just a civil war histrorian and living historian with a major in civil war history but the thing you have to understand he never made it to western NC far eastas he got was tennessee.

  • You should read Desperate Measures: Jesse James and the Klan Battles of Reconstruction. There is evidence to show they did come to NC.

  • Okay am I missing something here? I thought Jesse James was a murderer and killed like 17 men mostly shot in the back? Was that just a rumor and he was really a nice guy?

  • If you were a Yankee and a fan of U.S. Grant, he was certainly not a nice guy.

  • what does being a yankee have to do with murdering people? Jesse James was a killer, a murdering demon. I looked up his story and he was brought down the way he lived. How is this guy a hero? You have to be pretty demented to think of Jesse James as a hero. I mean he's a cool character as a bad guy and all, but nowadays he's not different than any punk who walked into a bank and killed a teller or any kid in a ghetto shooting someone in a drug deal. He was also a slave owner, not a nice guy.

  • He was a Confederate veteran who sought retribution for the terrorist acts of the Federal government during the Civil War, and they lived to regret their transgressions against him. Accordingly, he killed those who had supported Lincoln and destroyed the assets of those usrurpors and satin worshipping northerners who ahd injured the down-troddin south. I don't know if he ever had the money to own a slave, but if so, perhaps that because it was is CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN.

  • Did you just make all that up on the fly? Everything I read about him states he was a murderer and he was only a hero to the gansters back in the day. Own a human being is NOT a constitutional right it was a disgusting display of inhumame treatment of men women and children who were kidnapped against their will and beaten by redneck lazy mother fuckers to do their work while they sat on their fat nasty asses. Abe Lincoln was an honorable man, Jesse James was a murderer.

  • In many ways, Lincoln, too, was a murderer. After all, it was he that sent troops to attack and kill other fellow Americans.

  • Everyone's a murderer really.

  • First of all everything you've just said is wrong. Northern factory workers and men fighting for "freedom" were treated 100 times worse than most slaves. Second, most people with slaves (10 % of the total 15% of southerners owning slaves) owned less than 10 and did not treat them very badly at all. And lastly, Abe lincoln was not this hero everyone thinks he was. he was a VERY BIG racist who HATED blacks. He only went to war to prevent himself from being known as the man who let the Union die.

  • His family were slave owners BEFORE the war. So, that holds little water. And regardless, that was just the way of life in those days. That doesn't have anything to do with someone's character. Also, in many ways, he was indeed a HERO to the people of the south. They were oppressed and FORCED into the North's rules. But then again, I'm sure dictatorship is your way to go, retard.

  • God bless all our Southern Patriots who have fought for our Independence!

    Our Struggle continues!

    It aint over till we say it is over!

    Deo Vindice!

  • lol are you saying you're going to start another civil war? I'm just trying to figure out what your comment means.

  • What I'm saying is, you should try reading a book once in a while.

  • What I am saying, is that you're ignorant and if you knew how to read you would understand that Jesse James was an outlaw, a ganster, a murderer. He was no hero and if you think he was hopefully it was one of your own he shot in the back. Oh and tell me about those rebellious bank tellers he shot I would love ot hear your version truly I would. Civil War, you lost get over it, it was way before your time. Welcome to America! Tomorrow you will have a BLACK President, DEAL with it. Lincoln rocked!

  • No he didn't make that up on the fly. If your house was raided, father hung and you were beaten to a pulp at 14 yrs of age would you be flying the flag that did it to you? Not all missourian had slaves yet they were all being tortured as if so. Educate yourself please, not by watching a Brad Pitt film.

  • Okay send me links to all this stuff you are saying. I read only what I found on the internet with regards to Jesse James. I remember as a little kid that he was a "bad" guy. In the Pitt movie they make him out to be a hero so I wouldn't rely on that for info it's Hollywood. Again, IF my father was murdered by the govt (is that what you're trying to say?) I would never go and shoot an innocent bank teller over it. I am trying to educate myself on this, but nothing is coinsiding w/what you say.

  • You're rite most JJ material is post war. But the genesis of it all was the Civil War. Look up Jim Lane jayhawkers, bushwackers, Mo/Kan Border war. It was a brutal time. Some concider him (and others) heroes for standing up against the Feds and jayhawkers and the tyranny they were causing even before the war. Others a villian for his antics after the war robbing Union funded banks and railrds in revenge. Both are right in a way. Sry, it was his step-father they tried to hang and somehow lived.

  • great one. ride on Jesse... we need a few Jesse James around nowadays.

  • who sings? it seems mike stipe

  • I love it! Hallo from Berlin
