The Ballad Of Jesse James
Jesse James was a man
And he killed many men
He robbed the Glendale train
And he took from the richer
And he gave that to the poorer
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain
Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave
On Wednesday night
When the moon was shining bright
They robbed that Glendale train
And the folks from miles about (yeah they can)
They all said without a doubt
It was done by her Frankie and Jesse James (yes it was)
Oh Jessie had a wife, to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid (poor) Jesse James in his grave
Well the people held their breath
When they heard about Jesse's death (yeah)
And they wondered how poor Jesse came to die (how did he die?)
It was one of his guys, called Little Robert Ford
And he shot Jessie James on the sly
Oh Jessie had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were so brave
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid Jesse James in his grave
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
He laid Jesse James in his grave
A Balada de Jesse James
Jesse James era um homem
E ele matou muitos homens
Ele assaltou o trem de Glendale
E tirou dos ricos
E deu aos pobres
Ele tinha uma mão, um coração e uma mente
Oh, Jesse tinha uma esposa que chorava por sua vida
Três filhos, eles eram tão corajosos
Mas aquele sujo covarde
Que atirou no Sr. Howard
Colocou Jesse James em seu túmulo
Na noite de quarta-feira
Quando a lua brilhava forte
Eles assaltaram aquele trem de Glendale
E o povo de longe (é, eles podem)
Todos disseram sem dúvida
Foi obra da Frankie e de Jesse James (sim, foi)
Oh, Jesse tinha uma esposa que chorava por sua vida
Três filhos, eles eram tão corajosos
Mas aquele sujo covarde
Que atirou no Sr. Howard
Colocou (pobre) Jesse James em seu túmulo
Bem, o povo prendeu a respiração
Quando souberam da morte de Jesse (é)
E se perguntaram como o pobre Jesse morreu (como ele morreu?)
Foi um dos seus caras, chamado Little Robert Ford
E ele atirou em Jesse James às escondidas
Oh, Jesse tinha uma esposa que chorava por sua vida
Três filhos, eles eram tão corajosos
Mas aquele sujo covarde
Que atirou no Sr. Howard
Colocou Jesse James em seu túmulo
Colocou o pobre Jesse em seu túmulo
Ele colocou Jesse James em seu túmulo
