Jesse James

Jesse James a gente sabeJesse James we understand
Matou muitos homensHas killed him many a man
Ele assaltou os trens da UniãoHe robbed the Union trains
Mas a história registraBut history does record
Que Bob e Charlie FordThat Bob and Charlie Ford
Colocaram Jesse James em seu túmuloHave laid Jesse James in his grave

Foi numa noite de sábadoIt was on a Saturday night
As estrelas brilhavam forteThe stars were shining bright
Quando assaltaram aquele trem da UniãoWhen they robbed that Union train
E foi um dos meninos mais novosAnd it was one of the younger boys
Que juntou os despojosThat gathered in the spoils
E levou aquele dinheiro emboraAnd carried that money away

Em sua pequena casa, sem saberIn his small home unaware
Arrumando as fotos láA-straightening pictures there
Ele achou que ouviu um barulhoHe thought he heard a noise
E ao virar a cabeçaAnd as he turned his head
Bem, a bala o matou na horaWell, the bullet killed him dead
Disparada por Bob Ford, um dos meninosFired by Bob Ford, one of the boys

Pobre Jesse tinha uma esposaPoor Jesse had a wife
Ela viveu como uma dama a vida todaShe lived a lady all her life
As crianças eram corajosasThe children they were brave
Mas a história registraBut history does record
Que Bob e Charlie FordThat Bob and Charlie Ford
Colocaram o pobre Jesse, colocaram o pobre JesseHave laid poor Jesse, laid poor Jesse
Colocaram Jesse James em seu túmuloHave laid Jesse James in his grave
