Testo Jesse James - Eddy Arnold
Testo della canzone Jesse James (Eddy Arnold), tratta dall'album Masterpieces Presents Eddy Arnold, Hits & Rarities (74 Country Songs)
It was on a Wednesday night, the moon was shining bright
They robbed the Glendale train
And the people they did say for many miles away
'Twas the outlaws, Frank and Jesse James
Jesse had a wife to mourn all her life
The children they are brave
'Twas a dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
And laid Jesse James in his grave
It was Robert Ford, the dirty little coward
I wonder how he does feel
For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed
Then he laid Jesse James in his grave
Jesse had a wife to mourn all her life
The children they are brave
'Twas a dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
And laid Jesse James in his grave
It was his brother Frank that robbed the Gallatin bank
And carried the money from the town (From the town)
It was in this very place that they had a little race
'Fore they shot Captain Sheets to the ground (To the ground)
They went to the crossing not very far from there
And there they did the same
And the agent on his knees, he delivered up the keys
To the outlaws, Frank and Jesse James
Jesse had a wife to mourn all her life
The children they are brave
'Twas a dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
And laid Jesse James in his grave
It was on a Saturday night, Jesse was at home
Talking to his family brave
When the thief and the coward, little Robert Ford
Laid Jesse James in his grave
How people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death
And wondered how he ever came to die
'Twas one of the gang, dirty Robert Ford
That shot Jesse James on the sly
Jesse had a wife to mourn all her life
The children they are brave
'Twas a dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
And laid Jesse James in his grave
Jesse went to rest with his hand on his breast
The devil will be upon his knee
He was born one day in the county of Clay
And came from a solitary raise
Jesse had a wife to mourn all her life
The children they are brave
'Twas a dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
And laid Jesse James in his grave
And laid Jesse James in his grave
