Frank and Jesse James: Written By Warren Zevon
published by Warner-Tamerlane/Darkroom Music BMI, 1973

On a small Missouri farm
Back when the west was young
Two boys learned to rope and ride
And be handy with a gun

War broke out between the states
And they joined up with Quantrill
And it was over in Clay county
That Frank and Jesse finally learned to kill

Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Keep on riding, riding, riding
'Til you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Across the rivers and the range
Keep on riding, riding, riding Frank and Jesse James

After Appomattox they were on the loosing side
So no amnesty was granted
And as outlaws they did ride
They rode against the railroads,
And they rode against the banks
And they rode against the governor
Never did they ask for a word of thanks

Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Keep on riding, riding, riding
'Til you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Across the prairies and the plains
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James

Robert Ford, a gunman
Did exchange for his parole
Took the life of James the outlaw
Which he snuck up on and stole
No one knows just where they came to be misunderstood
But the poor Missouri farmers knew
Frank and Jesse do the best they could

Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Keep on riding, riding, riding
'Til you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Across the rivers and the range
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James

The poster in the background ... some gal naked from the waist-up, wearing what looks like a top hat ... photo of ??? or just a poster? Doesn't look like Crystal ...

@boogiebabe67 This is not Crystal , the image is not very clear, may be Linda Ronstadt but I'm not sure at all, or just a publicity poster .....if someone can answer........

@boogiebabe67 Looks like some gal from the neck down....and some dude with with some facial hair from the neck up...at least that's what it looks like to me. LOL

@WarrenZevonAddict - Thanks! Doesn't look like Linda Ronstadt, but I wondered because of Warren's sexual addiction (no insult meant!). Crystal acknowledged in her book that he had multiple affairs. Thought the poster might be an enlarged photo of one of his lovers ...
