Bruce Springsteen - Jessie James
Jesse James and his boys rode that Dodge City Trail,Held up the midnight Southern mail,And there never was a man with the law in his handThat could keep Jesse James in a jail.It was Frank and Jesse James that killed many a man,But they never was outlaws at heart;I wrote this song to tell you how it comeThat Frank and Jesse James got their start.They was living on a farm in the old Missouri hills,With a silver-haired mother and a home;Now the railroad bullies come to chase them off their land,But they found that Frank and Jesse wouldn't run.Then a railroad scab, he went and got a bomb,And he throwed it at the doorAnd it killed Mrs. James a-sleeping in her bed,So Jesse grabbed a big forty-four.Yes, Frank and Jesse James was men that was gameTo stop that high-rolling train --And to shoot down the rat that killed Mrs. James,They was Two-Gun Frank and Jesse James.Now a bastard and coward called little Robert Ford,He claimed he was Frank and Jesse's friend,Made love to Jesse's wife and he took Jesse's life,And he laid poor Jesse in his grave.The people were surprised when Jesse lost his life,Wondered how he ever came to fall,Robert Ford, it's a fact, shot Jesse in the back,While Jesse hung a picture on the wall.They dug Jesse's grave and a stone they raised,It says, "Jesse James lies here --Was killed by a man, a bastard and a coward,Whose name ain't worthy to appear."
