verse 2
It was Robert Ford, 
that dirty little coward,
I wonder how he does feel,
For he ate Jesse's bread 
and he slept in Jesse's bed
And he laid poor Jesse in his grave.

chorus

verse 3
How the people held their breath
when they heard of Jesse's death,
And wondered how he ever came to die.
It was one of the gang,
called Little Robert Ford
That shot poor Jesse on the sly.

chorus

verse 4
Jesse was a man,
a friend to the poor,
He never would see a man suffer pain,
And with his brother Frank 
he robbed the Chicago bank,
And stopped the Glendale freighter.
