Thread Name: Origins: Jesse James I
Subject: RE: Jesse James
Marshal (Grandpa ) Jones' "Jesse James", last verse and chorus (throughout)
His end it came at last, with a bullet quick and fast
from a comrade he'd trusted in his band
The debt he paid was just as they laid him in the dust
For he'd been such a terror in the land

No more Jesse James no more Jesse James
They laid Jesse James in his grave
When he went to turn his head, "Little Bobby" shot him dead.
And, they laid Jesse James in his grave.
