Jesse James - Mungo Jerry

Now Jesse James was a man who killed many men

He robbed the Glendale train

All the folks from round about said, «Yes, without a doubt

It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James»

Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life

Three children they were so brave

But that dirty little coward that shot him, Mr Ford

And he laid Jesse James in his grave

It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was shining bright

That I robbed the Glendale train

All the folks from round about said, «Yes, without a doubt

It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James»

Repeat Chorus:

It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was shining bright

Jesse was talking to his family brave

When along came Robert Ford like a thief in the black

And he shot Jesse James in the back
