Bob Seger System Jesse James Lyrics

Jesse James Lyrics

He killed many a man

And he roamed over the Scarsdale range

Robbin'
from the rich

And givin' to the poor

He was dark and cold and full
of rage

Oh yes he was, sing with me

Poor Jesse had a wife

To
mourn for his life

And three children

They were oh so brave

But that dirty little coward

He went and shot Mr. Howard

Laid
poor Jesse in his grave yeah



It was on a Saturday night

When
Jesse was at home

Talking to old railroad Jed

Along come Robert
Ford

Like a theif in the night

And he shot poor Jesse in the
back



Poor Jesse had a wife

To mourn for his life

Three
children

They were oh so brave

But that dirty little coward

He
went and shot Mr. Howard

Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah

He
lays

Six feet under the ground
