Ry Cooder – El Corrido De Jesse James Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 0 Second

Now the outlaw Jesse James was up in heaven
With old friends around the Kingdom throne
Boys I was branded as a bandit and bank robber
But I never turned a family from their home

Now were sworn to pass no judgements here in heaven
But theres goings on a man cant stand no more
Now theres no open carry up in heaven
But please give me back my trusty 44

Con permiso yo me voy to dear old Wall Street
My 44 will do the talking from now on
Ill cut you down to size my banking brothers
Put that bonus money back where it belongs

Now you picked the pockets of los pobrecitos

Spreading hardship and trouble through the land
Sus sirvientes pago bien para sus falsas
Thats what Jesse James could never understand

Un minuto a rezar y un segundo para morir
Thats all you birds will ever get from me
Now you lined your pockets well but Ill see you in hell
Quemando como dinero for all eternity

Ry Cooder vocals, banjo, sexto, bass
Joachim Cooder drums
Flaco Jiminez accordion
Arturo Gillardo clarinet
Erasto Robles trombone
Carlos Gonzales trumpet
Pablo Molina sousaphone, alto horn
Edgar Castro percussion
