lyrics

Did you hear about Jesse James?
He robbed that old train
The engineer's dead on the track

Did you hear about Jesse James?
He robbed that old train
They ain't never gonna get that money back.

If you're gonna set a bounty, you better set it high
'Cuz a man would be crazy to take him in alive
So get that old six shooter and strap it to your thigh
If you bring him in dead then you'd better aim high

Did you hear about Jesse James?
He robbed that old train
The engineer's dead on the track

Did you hear about Jesse James?
He robbed that old train
They ain't never gonna get that money back.

One day Jesse James met old Robert Ford
And as soon as Jesse's back had turned to the door
Robert shot once and Jesse hit the floor
And now we don't worry 'bout old Jesse anymore

Did you hear about Jesse James?
He robbed that old train
The engineer's dead on the track

Did you hear about Jesse James?
He robbed that old train
But Bob Ford shot him in the back!
