roy clark - jesse james lyrics
jesse james was a man who rambled through the land
and he robbed many a bank and train
he was the leader man of a bold and reckless band
and many are the people that were slain.
but, no more jesse james; no more jesse james
they laid poor jesse in his grave
jesse went and turned his head; little bobby shot him dead
and they laid poor jesse in his grave.
— instrumental —
now jesse had a wife; who mourned all her life
because of jesse’s evil ways
but she couldn’t stay his hand; or stop the robber band
her grief made her old and gray.
but, no more jesse james; no more jesse james
they laid poor jesse in his grave
jesse went and turned his head; little bobby shot him dead
and they laid poor jesse in his grave.
— instrumental —
but the end it came at last; from a bullet quick and fast
from a comrade he trusted in his band
and the deed they said was just; when they laid him in the dust
he had been such a terror in the land.
but, no more jesse james; no more jesse james
they laid poor jesse in his grave
jesse went and turned his head; little bobby shot him dead
and they laid poor jesse in his grave.
