<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I [G]went down to the station, not [C]many days ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]Did something that I\u2019ll never do [D]again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]Got down on my knees, as [C]levered up the keys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To [G]Frank and his [D]brother Jesse James[G]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now [C]Jesse leaves a wife, she\u2019s a [G]mourner all her life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the children yeah you know that they were [D]brave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the [G]dirty little covard, who [C]shot mister Howard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has [G]layed poor [D]Jesse in his [G]grave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now [G]Jesse was a man and [C]friend to the poor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]He would never see a man suffer [D]pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now [G]with his brother Frank they [C]robbed the Chicago bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And tog[G]heter they [D]robbed the Glendale [G]train<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the [G]people in the west, when they [C]heard of Jesses death,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They [G]wondered how he came to [D]die<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was [G]for a pistol ball, brought him [C]tumbling from the wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And [G]layed poor [D]Jesse down to [G]die<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now [G]Jesse goes to rest with his [C]hands upon his brest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the [G]devil will be upon his [D]knee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was [G]born one day, in the [C]county of Clay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he [G]came from a [D]solitary [G]race<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the [G]song it was made, by [C]Billy deShade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As [G]soon as the news did [D]arrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It [G]said there was no man, with the [C]law in his hand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who could [G]ever take [D]Jesse when a[G]live<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor [C]Jesse had a wife who [G]mourned for his life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three children \u2013 they were [D]brave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that [G]dirty little coward who [C]shot Mister Howard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has [G]laid poor [D]Jesse in his [G]grave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
