JESSIE JAMES
How'd you like to be like Jessie James?
And who among you never heard his name?
Jessie James.
Jessie James.
How'd you like to be like Jessie James ?
A Confederate man in an American game.
Jessie James.
Jessie James.
He was a robber. He was a killer.
He was a man who loved his child.
He was a gunner. He was a runner.
And he was faithful to his wife.
He'd never hesitate. He wouldn't hesitate
To take a human life.
How'd you like to be like Jessie James?
And who among you never heard his name?
Jessie James.
Jessie James.
How'd you like to be like Jessie James
Makin' a life outta robbin' trains.
Jessie James. Jessie James.
In Kansas City they called him Howard, Where he walked a double line.
To his family, he was a father Who was born of war and strife.
He'd never hesitate. He wouldn't hesitate
To take a human life.
Train robber
Flag that locomotive down.
Train robber
Flag that locomotive down.
There were guns, there were lights,
There were screams in the night.
As the bad men boarded the train
Resistance was light - Just a token fight.
Everybody new the name. Jessie James
