The Ballad of Jesse James
CHORDS: Verses C F C F G CHORUS C F G
Suzy was and artist
Jimmy was a taxman
Jesse liked to live on the streets
Suzy played the guitar
Jimmy blue the mouth harp
Jesse could just wail our and sing
Everyone around us
Tipped the hat with dollars
Blew it all on women and drink
They talked about the feelings
The feeling that he gave us
Listening to Jesse sing
Jesse James is a homeless man
Lives on the street
Sings the blues like he knows you
You can hear it when Jesse sings
Jesse hopped a train
Early Sunday morning
On his way to Camarillo
Played with his band
In a concert in the park
Slept down by the bus depot
Picked up by the cops
For vagrancy in Irvine
Spent the night in county jail
In the holding cell
The police took his bag
No one came to make bail
Jesse James is a homeless man
Lives on the street
Sings the blues like he knows you
You can hear it when Jesse sings
Jesse was released
And put back on the streets
Did his best to find a job
Nowhere to go
With his dog named Bo
Singing to a stranger’s guitar
Jesse James is a homeless man
Lives on the street
Sings the blues like he knows you
You can hear it when Jesse sings
