ROBERT FORD AND JESSE JAMES 
Home demo
Robert Ford and Jesse James were like brothers
Together they would loot the Danville train, train
And then, da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da, to dust, and they went down the line
Baby, da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da, da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da
Baby I can't take it now

Info
ROBERT FORD AND JESSE JAMES is a song written by Bruce Springsteen. He
apparently later split it into two song, ROBERT FORD and
JESSE JAMES.
The above lyrics are transcribed from a solo acoustic guitar demo recorded at
Springsteen's home in Colts Neck, NJ, sometime between late March and early April 1981, during a
break in The River Tour. Like many other home demos from that period, it is spoiled by
some unintelligible and bluffed vocals. The recording appears on the Fist Full Of Dollars
(E Street Records) and How Nebraska Was Born (The Godfatherecords) bootlegs.
