Jesse took a powder, slicked his long hair back
Put a catridge in his gun and stepped out side his shack
Saddled up his buck skin mare and rode off into town,
Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
Luanne fixed her make up, straitened out her dress
Picked up his photograph and held it to her breast
How could she ever love him? He never was around
Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Chorus
Flesh and blood, it turns to dust, scatters in the wind,
Love is all that matters in the end
Sherrif Paul was fast asleep with his hat down in his lap
When he got a package that woke him from his nap
He un rolled a poster, could help but frown
It was jesse with the long hair hangin down
They'd been compadres many years before
Jesse saved his life one time, back before the war
Now he was the king of theives, he wore it like a crown
Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Chorus
Mr Brown the banker hid the money in his case
It was to for him to leave this god forsaken place
His true love loved the outlaw, who hated Mr Brown
That was Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Mr Brown had taken the land that Jesse owned
The bank had claimed that Jesse had not repaid his loan
Truth and lies entangled, but when the truth unwound,
It was Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Mr Brown was all alone when Luanne came walkin in
She pulled a pistol from he purse and pointed it at him
Then the door blew open, She turned to look around
It was Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Mr Brown took Luanne's gun and held to her head
I'll blow her to king dom come is what the banker said
And in that faithful moment, Jesse stood his ground,
Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Chorus
The Bullet that Killed Mr Brown came through the window pain
Put a hole above one eye and lodged down in his brain
Never saw no puff of smoke, no flash no fire no sound
From Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
Sherrif Paul was fast asleep his hat down on his eyes
When he got a letter and much to his suprise
A picture of the sweet Luanne, ina wedding gown
And Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Chorus
Flesh and blood it turns to dust, Scatters in the wind
Love is all that matters in the end my friend
Put a catridge in his gun and stepped out side his shack
Saddled up his buck skin mare and rode off into town,
Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
Luanne fixed her make up, straitened out her dress
Picked up his photograph and held it to her breast
How could she ever love him? He never was around
Jesse with the long hair hangin down
Chorus
Flesh and blood, it turns to dust, scatters in the wind,
Love is all that matters in the end
Sherrif Paul was fast asleep with his hat down in his lap
When he got a package that woke him from his nap
He un rolled a poster, could help but frown
It was jesse with the long hair hangin down
They'd been compadres many years before
Jesse saved his life one time, back before the war
Now he was the king of theives, he wore it like a crown
