Jesse James Lyrics - Woody Guthrie

Just about the worst gun battle 

I've ever had in the western plains 

When me and a bunch of cowboys 

Run on in Jesse James 

Come a ka-ka yicky 

Come, a ka-ka, yicky yicky yeah 

Run into Jesse James, boys 

Run into Jesse James 

The guns went off like thunder 

And the bullets fell like rain 

Come a ka-ka yicky 

Come, a ka-ka, yicky yicky yeah

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 bloody 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 Badlands 

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
