Jesse James

Jesse James

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.

Jesse James

Jesse James era um cara que vagava pela terra
E roubava muitos bancos e trens
Ele era o líder de um bando ousado e imprudente
E muitas pessoas foram mortas.

Mas, chega de Jesse James; chega de Jesse James
Deitaram o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo
Jesse virou a cabeça; o pequeno Bobby o matou
E deitaram o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo.

--- Instrumental ---

Agora, Jesse tinha uma esposa; que lamentou a vida toda
Por causa dos caminhos malignos de Jesse
Mas ela não conseguiu deter sua mão; ou parar o bando de ladrões
Sua dor a fez envelhecer e ficar grisalha.

Mas, chega de Jesse James; chega de Jesse James
Deitaram o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo
Jesse virou a cabeça; o pequeno Bobby o matou
E deitaram o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo.

--- Instrumental ---

Mas o fim chegou, afinal; por uma bala rápida e certeira
De um camarada em quem ele confiava no bando
E o ato, disseram, foi justo; quando o deitaram na poeira
Ele tinha sido um verdadeiro terror na terra.

Mas, chega de Jesse James; chega de Jesse James
Deitaram o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo
Jesse virou a cabeça; o pequeno Bobby o matou
E deitaram o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo.
