[Intro]
E B7 E
[Verse 1]
E
Jesse James was a man
B7
And he killed many men
E B7
He robbed the Glendale train.

He took from the richer
B7
And gave to the poorer
E
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain.
[Chorus]
A E
Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children they were so brave.
E
But that dirty little coward
A E
That shot Mr. Howard
B7 E
Has laid Jesse James in his grave.
[Verse 2]

On Wednesday night
E
When the moon was shining bright

They robbed that Glendale train.

And the folks from miles about (Yeah they can)
A E
They all said without a doubt
B7 E
It was done by Frankie and Jesse James. (Yes it was)
[Chorus]
A E
Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
B7
Three children they were so brave.
E
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard

Has laid (poor) Jesse James in his grave.
