Jesse James Lyrics
Jesse James - Woody Guthrie
Written by：Trad./Ledbetter/Guthrie
Just about the worst gun battle
Ever out on the western plains
When me and a bunch of cowboys
Went runnin' with Jesse James
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
Run into Jesse James boys
Run into Jesse James
The guns went off like thunder and the bullets fell
Like rain
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
The guns went off like lightning
And the bullets fell like hail
Was on our way to denver on the old dodge city trail
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
And in that body battle with Frank and Jesse James
My partners fell around me with bullets in their brains
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
Frank and Jesse James boys they robbed that midnight mail
The bank and express station and broke the county jail
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
If you're afraid to fight boys if you're afraid to die
You'd better stay out of the badland
Where the red hot bullets fly
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
If you're afraid of dying
If you're afraid of death
You'd better stay at home boys
Stay out of Jesse's path
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
Come a cow cow yicky come a cow cow yicky yicky yea
