The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Jesse James

Jesse James was a man who killed may a man

But he came to his rest at last

He step around on the floor with little Robert Ford

And Jesse was shot out on the slide

Old Jesse, Jesse had a wife, a lady all her life

And children she raised to be grown

But that dirty little coward that shot mr Howard

Has laid poor Jessie in his grave
