The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
It was one of the gang called little Robert Ford
Who shot Jesse James on the sly.
It was Robert Ford, that dirty coward,
I wonder how he does feel.
He ate Jesse's bread and slept in Jesse's bed
And he put Jesse James in his grave.
Where learned: MICHIGAN ; FERNDALE
