no one in history ever robbed the rich to give to the poor - fact.

[jonessm50]

really like this song. I sang it at an American Supper which I posted last year. Who wrote the song?

[lewdite]

@jonessm50 The song dates back to the time after the Civil War. I don't think anyone knows who wrote it.

[AbuAvital]

Great song, enjoyed it, thanks

[painwh]

[DollyDuck21]

[ChadJHachey]

reminds me of the song Jesus Christ - Woody Guthrie

[lewdite]

Yes... Woody used this tune for his song Jesus Christ.

I haven't found any mistakes,but in Szeged,Hungary (my hometown) we say that we won't find any mistakes if we don't want to find...Excellent job !

[lewdite]

Thank you for spotting that error...

I have corrected it.

[Patriot1862]

Excellent, 5*. Michael Martin Murphy also has a version with a few extra verses including this one:

This song was made by Billy Gashade

As soon as the news did arrive.

He said there was no man with a gun in his hand

Who could catch Jesse James while still alive...

Billy was a loyal friend of the James family and was a black man.

We could use a few more Jesse's in this day & age.
