Jesse James was a man
Who had killed many men
But he came to his death at last
He stepped along on the floor
With little Robert Ford
And Jesse was shot out on the sly
Oh, Jesse, Jesse had a wife
A lady all her life
And children she raised to be grown
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
It laid poor Jessie in his grave
