The Legend Of Jesse James

Verse 1 (0:00 - 0:30)
He rode out of Missouri, with a rebel’s fire in his soul,
A Confederate ghost, takin’ back what the war stole.
With his brother Frank beside him, and a gang that wouldn’t break,
Jesse James robbed the rich, left a legend in his wake. 
Chorus (0:30 - 1:00)
Oh, Jesse, Jesse, king of the outlaw’s game,
Ridin’ hard, livin’ bold, with a price on his name.
From the banks to the railroads, he carved his fearless claim,
Forever ridin’ free, the legend of Jesse James. 
Verse 2 (1:00 - 1:30)
He’d charm a crowd with a wink, slip through the law’s tight grip,
Hid with his wife Zee in the shadows, love sealed in every trip.
But the Pinkertons were closin’ in, and greed turned friend to foe,
Bob Ford’s bullet struck him down, in a house where trust would go. 
Chorus (1:30 - 2:00)
Oh, Jesse, Jesse, king of the outlaw’s game,
Ridin’ hard, livin’ bold, with a price on his name.
From the banks to the railroads, he carved his fearless claim,
Forever ridin’ free, the legend of Jesse James. 
Bridge (2:00 - 2:20)
Betrayed at thirty-four, in ’82 his star fell,
A wanted man who lived too fast, with stories left to tell.
Some see a thief, some a hero, but his spirit won’t stay tamed,
His ghost still haunts the prairies, callin’ Jesse James. 
Chorus (2:20 - 2:50)
Oh, Jesse, Jesse, king of the outlaw’s game,
Ridin’ hard, livin’ bold, with a price on his name.
From the banks to the railroads, he carved his fearless claim,
Forever ridin’ free, the legend of Jesse James. 
Outro (2:50 - 3:10)
Yeah, forever ridin’ free… that’s Jesse James.
