Van Morrison - The Ballad Of Jesse James Lyrics
Jesse james was a manAnd he killed many menHe robbed the glendale trainAnd he took from the richerAnd he gave that to the poorerHed a hand and a heart and a brainOh jesse had a wife to mourn for his lifeThree children they were so braveBut that dirty little cowardThat shot mr. howardHas laid jesse james in his grave(instrumental)On wednesday nightWhen the moon was shining brightThey robbed that glendale trainAnd the folks from miles about (yeah they can)They all said without a doubtIt was done by her frankie and jesse james (yes it was)Oh jessie had a wife, to mourn for his lifeThree children they were so braveBut that dirty little cowardThat shot mr. howardHas laid (poor) jesse james in his grave(instrumental)Well the people held their breathWhen they heard about jesses death (yeah)And they wondered how poor jesse came to die (how did he die? )It was one of his guys, called little robert fordAnd he shot jessie james on the slyOh jessie had a wife to mourn for his lifeThree children they were so braveBut that dirty little cowardThat shot mr. howardHas laid jesse james in his graveHas laid poor jesse in his graveHe laid jesse james in his grave
