[00:00.00]Jesse James (Album Version) - Pete Seeger
[00:19.11]Jesse James was a lad
[00:21.47]That killed many a man
[00:23.81]He robbed the Glendale train
[00:28.15]He stole from the rich
[00:30.28]And he gave to the poor
[00:32.29]He'd a hand and a heart and a brain
[00:36.67]Well Jesse had a wife
[00:39.16]To mourn for his life
[00:41.31]Three children now
[00:42.93]They were brave
[00:45.23]Well that dirty little coward
[00:47.57]That shot Mr Howard
[00:49.94]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[00:53.81]They were very poor
[00:55.94]Well that dirty little coward
[00:58.01]I wonder now how he feels
[01:01.72]For he ate of Jesse's bread
[01:03.94]And he slept on Jesse's bed
[01:06.00]And he laid poor Jesse in his grave
[01:10.30]Well Jesse had a wife
[01:12.45]To mourn for his life
[01:14.47]Three children now
[01:15.88]They were brave
[01:18.31]Well that dirty little coward
[01:20.78]That shot Mr Howard
[01:22.72]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[01:26.79]Well Jesse was a man
[01:28.93]A friend to the poor
[01:31.10]He'd never rob a mother or a child
[01:35.00]And there never was a man with
[01:37.30]The law in his hand
[01:39.37]That could take Jesse James when alive
[01:43.28]Well Jesse had a wife
[01:45.55]To mourn for his life
[01:47.41]Three children now
[01:49.53]They were brave
[01:51.36]Well that dirty little coward
[01:53.79]That shot Mr Howard
[01:55.91]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[02:16.03]It was on a Saturday night
[02:18.39]When the moon was shining bright
[02:20.57]They robbed the Glendale train
[02:24.13]And people they did say
[02:26.51]O'er many miles away
[02:28.20]It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James
[02:32.28]Well Jesse had a wife
[02:34.72]To mourn for his life
[02:36.68]Three children now
[02:38.55]They were brave
[02:40.52]But that dirty little coward
[02:42.76]That shot Mr Howard
[02:44.79]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[02:48.50]Now the people held their breath
[02:50.80]When they heard of Jesse's death
[02:52.91]They wondered how he'd ever
[02:54.60]Come to fall
[02:56.78]Robert Ford it's a fact
[02:58.70]He shot Jesse in the back
[03:00.86]While Jesse hung a picture on the wall
[03:04.83]Well Jesse had a wife
[03:07.06]To mourn for his life
[03:09.00]Three children now
[03:10.68]They were brave
[03:12.80]Well that dirty little coward
[03:15.03]That shot Mr Howard
[03:17.00]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[03:20.91]Jesse went to rest
[03:23.19]With his head on his breast
[03:25.48]The devil will upon his knee
[03:29.15]He was born one day
[03:31.14]In the County Clay
[03:33.24]And he came from a
[03:34.59]Solitary race
[03:37.16]Well Jesse had a wife
[03:39.30]To mourn for his life
[03:41.35]Three children now
[03:43.12]They were brave

[03:47.45]That shot Mr Howard
[03:49.30]He laid poor Jesse in his grave
[04:09.57]Well Jesse had a wife
