SUBSCRIPTION TWELVE SHILLINGS A YEAR POST FREE. JESSE JAMES Jesse James was a lad that killed a-many a man; He robbed the Danville train. But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life, Three children, they were brave. But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse in his grave. It was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward, I wonder how he does feel, For he ate ofJcsse’s bread and he slept in Jesse's bed, Then laid poor Jesse in his grave.
