Pogues lyrics Jesse James lyrics [The Pogues' Version] ------------------------------ Jesse James we understand Has killed many a man He robbed the Union trains He stole from the rich and gave to the poor He'd a hand and a heart and a brain Now Jesse had a wife Lived a lady all her life And children they were brave But history does record That Bob and Charlie Ford Have laid poor Jesse in his grave Well it was on Saturday night The stars were shining bright They robbed the Glendale train And the people they did say for many miles away It was those outlays Frank and Jesse James Now Jesse had a wife Lived a lady all her life And children they were brave But history does record That Bob and Charlie Ford Have laid poor Jesse in his grave Well it was Bob and Charlie Ford Those dirty little cowards I wonder how they feel For they ate of Jesse's bread and they slept in Jesse's bed And they laid poor Jesse in his grave Now Jesse had a wife Lived a lady all her life And children they were brave But history does record That Bob and Charlie Ford Have laid poor Jesse in his grave Well the people held their breath When they heard of Jesse's death They wondered how he came to fall Well it was Robert Ford in fact who shot him in the back While he hung a picture on the wall These are the lyrics as they appear on the Rum, Sodomy, & The Lash insert. [Jesse James] -------------------------- Jesse James was a boy 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 Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. It was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward; I wonder how he does feel For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed Then laid poor Jesse in his grave. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave; But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. Jesse was a man, a friend to the poor He never would see a man suffer pain, And with his brother Frank he robbed the Chicago bank, And stopped the Glendale train. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave; But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. lt was his brother Frank that robbed the Gallatin bank, And carried the money from the town; lt was in this very place that they had a little race, For they shot Captain Sheets to the ground. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave; But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. They went to the crossing not very far from there, And there they did the same; With the agent on his knees, he delivered up the keys To the outlaws, Frank and Jesse James. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave; But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. It was on Saturday night, Jesse was at home Talking with his family brave, Robert Ford came along like a thief in the night And laid poor Jesse in his grave. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave; But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. The people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death And wondered how he ever came to die. It was one of the gang called little Robert Ford He shot poor Jesse on the sly. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave; But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. This song was made by Billy Gashade, As soon as the news did arrive; He said there was no man with the law in his hand Who could take Jesse James when alive.
