Charley Crockett - I Shot Jesse James Lyrics

Charley Crockett Lyrics

"I Shot Jesse James"

I shot Jesse James
He was bound to do me in
He and my brother
Were mighty good friends
They call me "Bobby Ford"
And I shot Jesse James

It was April the 3rd
1882
Missouri told me
That I'd come due
On that cloudy day
I shot Jesse James

I shot Jesse James, but it didn't do me any good
If I could take it back, boys
Don't you think I would?
I shot Jesse James

Creede, Colorado
I spent my last days
Reading my fortune
In a diamond and spades
I heard O'Kelley say
"You shot Jesse James"

I shot Jesse James, but it didn't do me any good
If I could take it back, boys
Don't you think I would?

I shot Jesse James
And I could not see the cost
If I'm being honest
I thought I'd hear applause
I shot Jesse James
And we ended up the same

I shot Jesse James
I just had to do him in
He and my brother
Were awfully good friends
They call me "Robert Ford"
And I shot Jesse James

Hello, Bob
How's Jesus look to you now?
