Old Jessie was an outlaw
It was just his bad disposition
Some say he was born that way
I think he probably made a decision
Old Jessie liked the girls
He loved everyone 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 Jessie's head in a noose."
Jessie 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
ย
in the afterlife."

One day by the banks of Green River
the sheriff caught Jessie with his daughter
He spoke not a word
just squeezed that trigger
and blew them 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
He 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."
ย
All my faith is a bullet
All my God is a gun
All this world is just smoke and mirrors
I'm gonna break them one by one
I'm gonna break them one by one
I'm gonna break them one by one
ย
All that's real is a woman
all that's true is her flesh
and all you've got is her memory
for company after death
for company after death
for company after death
