The Ballad Of Jesse James

I was just a boy when they tied me to that tree They hung my daddy's brother, left him swinging over me I went off to get my vengeance underneath a flag of red And that angel on my shoulder, she ain't spoke to me since then Hey hey hey ( ) ( ) Well I tried my hand at working, but working was not me So I left my wife and children in the state of Missouri I went off to make my living for my daughter and my son And I found an occupation at the wrong end of a gun Refrão Lying here looking up at the cracks in the roof Well I thought you were my friend, but I guess I was a fool There's no pain, only blood and the smoke from your gun And I ain't on the run anymore Ooohhh ( ) ( ) Well I joined a band of brothers, those brothers took my name We were feared across the country, as the gang of Jesse James Some folks call me a hero but those folks don't know me well There's no place for me in Heaven, there's no Place for me in Hell Lying here looking up at the cracks in the roof Well I thought you were my friend, but I guess I was a fool There's no pain, only blood and the smoke from your gun And I ain't on the run anymore, no I ain't on the Run anymore I thought you were my brother but now it's come to this You'll be off to get your silver, just like Judas with no kiss And that angel on my shoulder looked me deeply in the eye As she turned to face that doorway, I could hear that angel cry Lying here looking up at the cracks in the roof Well I thought you were my friend, but I guess I was a fool With my colt forty-four laying cold on the floor And I ain't on the run anymore, no I ain't on the Run anymore
