Story behind the song
How Jesse James met his end.
Lyrics
I've always heard the story's about
a man that robbed the trains they
say he was a good man and his name
was Jesse James
They say he robbed from the rich
man and gave to the poor but Jesse
James was an outlaw and that we know
for sure
CH
they called him poor old Jesse
James cause he lived by the
sword he was shot down by a coward
that sneaky Robert Ford
Jesse and Frank his brother fought
in the civil war they fought with
the southern rebels and for
that they wasn't free no more
they burned their house and killed their
mother and that was a crying shame
the federal militia was out for blood
and to them they were all the same
CH
they called him poor old Jesse
James because he lived by the
sword he was shot down by a coward
that sneaky Robert Ford
There's been many stories written and
many songs they sang about Jesse
James and Cole Younger and the famous
outlaw gang
In North field Minnesota was a bank
they tried to take the younger gang
was captured but Jesse made his
escape.
CH
they called him poor old Jesse
James because he lived by the
sword he was shot down by a coward
that sneaky Robert Ford
They knew that Robert Ford, was one
of Jesse's friends, so they paid
him a big reward to bring him to
his end
he shot him in the back as he
straightened a picture on the wall
trusting a coward like Robert
Ford was Jesse's his big downfall
CH
they called him poor old Jesse
James because he lived by the
sword he was shot down by a coward
that sneaky Robert Ford
he was shot down by a coward that
sneaky Robert Ford
