VERSE 1
Poor Jesse was a man
Who killed many a man
He came to his death, at last
It is little Robert Ford
That shot Mr. Ford
Did lay poor Jesse in his grave

VERSE 2
O, Jesse had a wife
A ladies all 'er life
Her children sh' taught to be brave
It's dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Did lay poor Jesse in his grave
