Mungo Jerry Jesse James Lyrics

Jesse James Lyrics

Now Jesse James was a man who killed many men,

He robbed the Glendale
train,

All the folks from round about said, "Yes, without a doubt,

it was robbed by Frank and Jesse James"



Chorus: 

Jesse
had a wife to mourn for his life,

Three children they were so brave,

But that dirty little coward that shot him, Mr Ford,

And he laid Jesse
James in his grave



It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was
shining bright,

That I robbed the Glendale train,

All the folks
from round about said, "Yes, without a doubt,

it was robbed by Frank and
Jesse James"



Repeat Chorus:



It was on a Wednesday
night when the moon was shining bright,

Jesse was talking to his family
brave,

When along came Robert Ford like a thief in the black,

And
he shot Jesse James in the back
