robert ford and jesse james - david olney lyrics

[verse/intro]
‘hey, bob, do you remember when we robbed the glendale train?
and i shot that engineer and left him lying in the rain
you were shaking like a leaf, i thought you’d break and run
but my hands were never steadier than when they held a gun
the horses hooves a*pounding, bullets flying in the air
the bleeding and the dying, h*ll, i didn’t care
the chances that i took back then, i must have been insane
hey, bob, do you rеmember when wе robbed the glendale train?’

‘hey, bob, do you recall that little wh0re down in kansas city?
crazy as a bedbug but, man, she sure was pretty
you got mad as h*ll and you raged with jealously
after buying all her drinks that night, she went upstairs with me
you should have seen her, bob, the way she’d fuss and fight
a scratching little h*ll*cat, man, i sure had fun that night
now i’m sorry that i cut her, it truly was a pity
hey, bob, what was her name that little wh0re in kansas city?’

‘hey, bob, do you recall when we really lived the life?
now look at me, i’ve settled down, got three kids and a wife
god has surely blessed me with his mercies from on high
how come you never married, bob? you never told me why
it ain’t healthy for a man to always be alone
you need a woman’s gentle touch, a family and a home
a man can’t be a man without a woman at his side
how come you never married, bob? you never told me why’
[final verse] ‘hey, bob, look at this picture. does that look straight to you?
it needs to come up on the right just a touch or two’
well, bob he never answered for his anger and his shame
with steady hand he drew his gun and shot down jesse james
he knew it was too little and he knew it was too late
and it gave but little comfort, but at least that picture’s straight
