lyrics

Old Jesse was an outlaw / it was just his bad disposition/ Some say he was born that way / I think he probably made a decision/ Old Jesse like the girls / he loved every one he saw / but everybody knows the sheriff's daughter Rose / made him forget them all / Oh, the sheriff was a bad man / but he had a good excuse / The ends will justify the means, my friends / I'm gonna put Jesse's head in a noose / Jesse said /

A woman and a gun will keep me warm / will keep me warm all through the night / A woman and a gun will keep me warm / will keep me warm / in the afterlife

One day by the banks of Green River / the sheriff caught Jesse with his daughter / He spoke not a word, just squeezed that trigger / and blew 'em both into the water / Jesse felt his feet in the mud / Rose watched a cloud pass made of blood / The river was in their lungs / and these words were on the tip of his tongue/

All my faith is a bullet / all my God is a gun / And all this world is just smoke and mirrors/ I'm gonna break them one by one /

All that's real is a woman / all that's true is her flesh / and all you got is her memory / for company after death
