This is probably the most famous song about Jesse James. It's a pity I don't know it very well. To make it worse I have a sore throat and my voice is more than a bit wobbly. I'm playing the uke part on my Pete Howlett tenor. It was first recorded in 1924 by Bascom Lamar Lunsford, and subsequently by many artists, including Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, The Pogues, The Country Gentlemen, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen
