(G) Jessie James was a lad
that (C) killed many a (G) man
He robbed the Glendale (D7) train
He (G) stole from the rich
and he (C) gave to the (G) poor
He'd a hand and a (D7) heart and a (G) brain

Now poor (C) Jesse had a wife
to (G) mourn for his life
Three children they were (D7) brave
But that (G) dirty little coward
that (C) shot mister (G) Howard
has laid Jesse (D7) James in his (G) grave

It was on a Wednesday night
the (C) moon was shinning (G) bright
They robbed the Glendale (D7) train
and (G) folks from miles about
all (C) said without a (G) doubt
it was robbed by (D7) Frank and Jesse (G) James

Now poor (C) Jesse had a wife
to (G) mourn for his life
Three children they were (D7) brave
But that (G) dirty little coward
that (C) shot mister (G) Howard
has laid Jesse (D7) James in his (G) grave

It was on a Saturday night
when (C) Jesse was at (G) home
talking to his family (D7) brave
A (G) long came Robert Ford
like a (C) thief in the (G) night
and he laid Jesse (D7) James in his (G) grave

Now poor (C) Jesse had a wife
to (G) mourn for his life
Three children they were (D7) brave
But that (G) dirty little coward
that (C) shot mister (G) Howard
has laid Jesse (D7) James in his (G) grave

Now the people held their breath
when they (C) heard of Jesse's (G) death
and they wondered how Jesse came to (D7) die
It was (G) one of his gang
Lord, (C) little Robert (G) Ford
and he shot Jesse (D7) James on the (G) sly

Now poor (C) Jesse had a wife
to (G) mourn for his life
Three children they were (D7) brave
But that (G) dirty little coward
that (C) shot mister (G) Howard
has laid Jesse (D7) James in his (G) grave
