(Bob Shane/Nick Reynolds/Nick Reynolds)

(Recitation) Frank and Jesse James were products of their environment. They were sent out into the woods by their parents to forage for berries, truffles, rutabagas...roots of all sorts! Put yourself in their place...you'da been mean too!

When Jesse James was a lad
he killed many-a man.
He robbed the Glendale train.
And the people they did say
for many miles away.
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James.

Chorus:

Poor Jesse had a wife
who mourned for his life,
three children, they were brave.
But that dirty little coward
who shot Mister Howard
has laid poor Jesse in his grave.

It was on a Saturday night
if I remember right
when they robbed that Glendale train.
It was one of the Younger boys
who gathered in the spoils
and he carried Jesse's monies away.

(Chorus)

He was standin' on a chair
just a-dustin' pictures there.
He thought he heard a noise
(Yeah, what did he do?)
When he turned his head around,
why that bullet smacked him down
and it laid poor Jesse on the floor.

(Chorus)

Jesse robbed from the poor
and he gave to the rich.
He never did a friendly thing.
And when his best friend died
he was right there by her side
and he lifted off her golden wedding ring.

(Chorus)
