As he stood outside the church-yard gate
And polished up on his .38
And said:
'I got it from Jesse James'
[Instrumental & sax solo]
All the people were waiting for Crazy Face
He said he'd meet them at his favourite place
Dresses in a-black satin, white linen and lace
With his head held high and a smile on his face
And he said:
'Ladies and gentlemen, the prince is late'
As he stood outside the church-yard gate
And polished up on his .38
And said:
'I got it from Jesse James'.
