Jesse James

A mild mannered country boy
Got a fire in his eyes
When the Yankee soldiers held and beat him
While his daddy hung and died

Jesse joined Quantro’s men
When he turned fifteen
He was born of a preacher man
But he grew up hard and mean

Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame
Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame

He was a one way ticket rebel soldier
And a damn good friend of mine
Fighting fire the union army
Wasn’t what he had in mind

Jesse joined Quantro’s men
And he learned the outlaw ways
The only thing that Jesse feared
Was his final judgement day

Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame
Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame

When the war was done he gave his gun
To the Yankee soldier’s hand
On the way home they shot him down
And the hell broke loose again

He robbed them twelve Yankee banks
And the seven northern trains
Give 'em Hell Jesse James
And give ‘em Hell again

Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame
Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame

Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame
Jesse James you left your name in the Rebel’s Hall of Fame
