rambled through the land And he train He bold and reckless band And slain. But, no more Jesse James They laid poor Jesse in his grave Jesse Bobby shot him dead And they grave. (Inst: Banjo/Fiddle) 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. Refrain: (Inst: Guitar) 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. Refrain: (Inst: End)
