Let Jesse Rob the Train
Jesse loved the ladies
Like grandmas love babies
I ain't never heard no one complain
Yeah, Jesse took the money
And Jesse took the honey
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
He said, "This here's a stickup
So you all get your hands up
And don't anybody make a move
I'm robbing all the men
And I'm kissing all the ladies
So all of you heroes play it cool"
Then a big man on the front row
Said, "Take our gold and then go
Leave the women folk the way you came"
Then a lady from the rear
Her voice ringing loud and clear
Said, "Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train"
Jesse loved the ladies
Like grandmas love babies
I ain't never heard no one complain
Yeah, Jesse took the money
Jesse took the honey
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
Some called him a bad man
Some called him a good man
Some called him some things I can't explain
Yeah, the men all called him outlaw
But the ladies called him tree tall
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
Jesse loved the ladies
Like grandmas love babies
I ain't never heard no one complain
Yeah, Jesse took the money
Jesse took the honey
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
That hog leg on his hip
Means that he don't take no lip
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
Like grandmas love babies
I ain't never heard no one complain
Yeah, Jesse took the money
And Jesse took the honey
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
He said, "This here's a stickup
So you all get your hands up
And don't anybody make a move
I'm robbing all the men
And I'm kissing all the ladies
So all of you heroes play it cool"
Then a big man on the front row
Said, "Take our gold and then go
Leave the women folk the way you came"
Then a lady from the rear
Her voice ringing loud and clear
Said, "Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train"
Jesse loved the ladies
Like grandmas love babies
I ain't never heard no one complain
Yeah, Jesse took the money
Jesse took the honey
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
Some called him a bad man
Some called him a good man
Some called him some things I can't explain
Yeah, the men all called him outlaw
But the ladies called him tree tall
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
Jesse loved the ladies
Like grandmas love babies
I ain't never heard no one complain
Yeah, Jesse took the money
Jesse took the honey
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
That hog leg on his hip
Means that he don't take no lip
Sit down, sir, let Jesse rob the train
