Bob Seger — Jesse James

[Verse 1] When Jesse James was a lad He killed many a man And he roamed over the Scarsdale range (Whoa) Robbin' from the rich And givin' to the poor He was dark and cold and full of rage Oh yes he was, sing with me [Chorus] Jesse had a wife To mourn for his life And three children They were all so brave But that dirty little coward He went and shot Mr. Howard And laid poor Jesse in his grave (Yeah) [Verse 2] It was on a Saturday night When Jesse was at home Talking to old railroad Jed (Oh) Along come Robert Ford Like a thief in the night And he shot poor Jesse in the back (Oh yeah) [Chorus] Say, Jesse had a wife To mourn for his life Three children They were all so brave But that dirty little coward He went and shot Mr. Howard And laid poor Jesse in his grave (Yeah) [Outro] They laid him six feet under the ground Oh, they laid him six feet under the ground They laid him six feet under the ground Oh, they laid him six feet under the ground Oh, they laid him six feet under the ground They laid him six feet under the ground They laid him six feet under the ground Six feet under the ground Oh, six feet under the ground Six feet under the ground
