JESSE JAMES
Recorded by Roy Clark
Arranged by Roy Clark (Up tempo/Bluegrass style)

(D) Jesse James was a man who (G) rambled through the land
And he (D) robbed many a bank and (A7) train
He (D) was the leader man of a (G) bold and reckless band
And (D) many are the (A7) people that were (D) slain.

But, no (G) more Jesse James; No (D) more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his (A7) grave
Jesse (D) went and turned his head; Little (G) Bobby shot him dead
And they (D) laid poor (A7) Jesse in his (D) grave.

(Inst: Banjo/Fiddle)

Now Jesse had a wife; Who mourned all her life
Because of Jesse's evil ways
But she couldn't stay his hand; Or stop the robber band
Her grief made her old and gray.

Refrain:

(Inst: Guitar)

But the end it came at last; From a bullet quick and fast
>From a comrade he trusted in his band
And the deed they said was just; When they laid him in the dust
He had been such a terror in the land.

Refrain:

(Inst: End)
