Laid
poor
Jesse in
his
grave
It was on a Sunday night and the moon was shining bright,
They robbed the Glendale train,
And people they did say o'er many miles away
It was those outlaws, Frank and Jesse James
Well it was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward,
I wonder how he did feel,
For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed,
Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave.
Now the people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death,
And wondered how he ever came to fall
Robert Ford,it was a fact,he shot Jesse in the back
While Jesse hung a picture on the wall
