He robbed the Glendale train.
He stole from the rich and
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain.
Three children, they were brave
But that dirty little coward that shot
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
that robbed the Galton Bank
And carried the money from the town
It was in this very place
that they had a little race
Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children, they were brave
But that dirty little coward that shot
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
It was on a Saturday night,
talking with his family brave,
like a thief in the night,
and laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children they were brave
But that dirty little coward that shot
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
