Jesse James we understand 
Has killed him many a man 
He robbed the Union trains 
But history does record 
That Bob and Charlie Ford 
Have laid Jesse James in his grave 

It was on a Saturday night 
The stars were shining bright 
When they robbed that Union train 
And it was one of the younger boys 
That gathered in the spoils 
And carried that money away 

In his small home unaware 
A-straightening pictures there 
He thought he heard a noise 
And as he turned his head 
Well, the bullet killed him dead 
Fired by Bob Ford, one of the boys 

Poor Jesse had a wife 
She lived a lady all her life 
The children they were brave 
But history does record 
That Bob and Charlie Ford 
Have laid poor Jesse, laid poor Jesse 
Have laid Jesse James in his grave
