《Jesse James(Dialogue)(2008 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] I'll tell you about jesse and frank james

[00:00:03] My grandfather was personally acquainted with them

[00:00:07] My grandfather lived in the southern edge of baxter county arkansas

[00:00:11] And they stayed all night with him lots of nights

[00:00:15] And my grandfather told me there was a lot of those robberies that was layed to jesse and frank james

[00:00:20] And he knew they didn't do it cause they was at his place when it happened

[00:00:25] But you couldn't tell the public that

[00:00:30] When they get their minds made up that somebody's done something

[00:00:33] Why the public's gonna stick to it anyway

[00:00:36] My grandfather he knew them as boys

[00:00:38] And they could come to his place and go without anybody paying attention cause nobody expected them

[00:00:44] Down in arkansas see cause they was from missouri

[00:00:49] Now that's the story that my grandfather told me when i was just a boy

[00:00:55] And he said that frank james at that world's fair

[00:00:58] I think it was 1901 in st louis him and jesse were both there

[00:01:03] My grandfather and frank james were together there

[00:01:07] And that frank james offered to bring jesse there alive

[00:01:12] He said that the man that the ford boys killed wasn't jesse james at all

[00:01:17] But the fellow they killed was just about the size of jesse and he was red headed

[00:01:21] And he wasn't any relation to the fords

[00:01:24] See jesse james was a known cousin to charles and bob ford

[00:01:28] That's what my grandfather said

[00:01:32] He said jesse and frank were not even in that part of the country when that fellow was killed

[00:01:38] And the ford boys why they collected a thousand dollars for killing jesse james

[00:01:46] Now the song says that the ford boys killed jesse

[00:01:51] None of us up here in the mountains believe that no sir
