The Ballad of Jessie James 1949

[@dinosaursinloveeee]

I remember learning this in my sixth grade music class & it randomly popped into my head tonight. I'm now 41 years old & have my own 6th grader. Crazy how fast time goes by.

Did I say Jesse James? I meant Otis Miller.

[@Wanderlust598]

Wasn't the cowardly killer Charlie Tatum though

[@hugomartinez692]

But that cowardly killer
That shot Mr. Miller
Has laid old Otis in his grave
YAH
