Jesse James
Jesse James was a man who rambled through the land
And he robbed many a bank and train
He was the leader man of a bold and reckless band
And many are the people that were slain.
But, no more Jesse James; no more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse went and turned his head; Little Bobby shot him dead
And they laid poor Jesse in his grave.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
But, no more Jesse James; no more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse went and turned his head; Little Bobby shot him dead
And they laid poor Jesse in his grave.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
But, no more Jesse James; no more Jesse James
They laid poor Jesse in his grave
Jesse went and turned his head; Little Bobby shot him dead
And they laid poor Jesse in his grave.

Jesse James
Jesse James era un hombre que vagaba por la tierra
Y robaba muchos bancos y trenes
Era el líder de una banda audaz e imprudente
Y muchos son los que fueron asesinados.
Pero, no más Jesse James; no más Jesse James
Pusieron pobre a Jesse en su tumba
Jesse se dio la vuelta; Pequeño Bobby lo mató
Y pusieron pobre a Jesse en su tumba.
--- Instrumental ---
Ahora Jesse tenía una esposa; que lloró toda su vida
Por las malas acciones de Jesse
Pero ella no pudo detener su mano; o detener la banda de ladrones
Su dolor la hizo envejecer y volverse gris.
Pero, no más Jesse James; no más Jesse James
Pusieron pobre a Jesse en su tumba
Jesse se dio la vuelta; Pequeño Bobby lo mató
Y pusieron pobre a Jesse en su tumba.
--- Instrumental ---
Pero al final llegó; de una bala rápida y certera
De un camarada en quien confiaba en su banda
Y dijeron que el acto fue justo; cuando lo pusieron en el polvo
Había sido un terror en la tierra.
Pero, no más Jesse James; no más Jesse James
Pusieron pobre a Jesse en su tumba
Jesse se dio la vuelta; Pequeño Bobby lo mató
Y pusieron pobre a Jesse en su tumba.
