-
- Jesse James was a lad who
killed many a man;
- He robbed the Glendale train;
- He stole from the rich and
he gave to the poor;
- He'd a hand and a heart
and a brain.
- Poor Jesse had a wife to
mourn for his life,
- Three children, they were
brave;
- But that dirty little coward
that shot Mister Howard
- Has laid poor Jesse in his
grave.
