LET JESSE ROB THIS TRAIN
(Barbara Cummings)


Barbara Fairchild - 1976





There ain't nothin' worse than bein' alone
So, Jesse, I think it's time you come home
You've done all your ramblin', your ridin’ and gamblin'
You've sung your sad songs, you've told a few rhymes

But Jesse you know we had it fine
We shared some good love, shared some hard times
And I loved how you'd take away my pain
You'd smile and you'd say let ol' Jess rob this train

But Jesse, the train she's run out of track
There's no place to go,no turnin' back
And the storm in my heart is causing such pain
You'd better come home, let ol' Jess rob this train
Oh, Jesse come home
Jesse come home to me

Outlaw, don't you think 
You've done all you can do
Don't you think it's time you come home 
To someone who loves you

Jesse the train she's run out of track
There's no place to go and no turnin' back
Jesse, I think it's startin' to rain
You'd better come home, let ol' Jess rob this train
Oh, Jesse come home
Jesse come home to me
