Jesse James

[Verse 1] In the hills of Missouri, in eighteen forty-seven, A legend was born, destined for the heavens. Young Jesse James, with a gleam in his eye, Roamed the wild frontier, beneath the open sky. [Verse 2] From a Confederate fighter to a bank-robbing man, Jesse made his mark with his brother by his hand. He rode with the Youngers, daring and bold, Leaving tales of his exploits, in stories untold. [Chorus] Jesse James, outlaw of fame, Riding through history, leaving his name. Jesse James, the legend remains, In the heart of the West, where the outlaw reigns. [Verse 3] But the law closed in, on that fateful day, In the quiet of St. Joseph, where Jesse would lay. A shot in the back, by a traitor's hand, Ended the life, of the outlaw grand. [Verse 4] Yet his story lives on, in the songs we sing, Of a man who lived wild, like a bird on the wing. From his birth to his end, in the Wild West's frame, Jesse James lives on, in the legend's flame. [Chorus] Jesse James, outlaw of fame, Riding through history, leaving his name. Jesse James, the legend remains, In the heart of the West, where the outlaw reigns. [End]
