Letra
On a small Missouri farm
Back when the west was young
Two boys learned to rope and ride
And be handy with a gun
War broke out between the states
And they joined up with Quantrill
And it was over in Clay county
That Frank and Jesse finally learned to kill
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Keep on riding, riding, riding
'Til you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Across the rivers and the range
Keep on riding, riding, riding Frank and Jesse James
After Appomattox they were on the loosing side
So no amnesty was granted
And as outlaws they did ride
They rode against the railroads,
And they rode against the banks
And they rode against the governor
Never did they ask for a word of thanks
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Keep on riding, riding, riding
'Til you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Across the prairies and the plains
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Robert Ford, a gunman
Did exchange for his parole
Took the life of James the outlaw
Which he snuck up on and stole
No one knows just where they came to be misunderstood
But the poor Missouri farmers knew
Frank and Jesse do the best they could
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Keep on riding, riding, riding
'Til you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Across the rivers and the range
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Tradução da letra
Numa pequena quinta do Missouri.
Quando o Ocidente era jovem
Dois rapazes aprenderam a amarrar e a montar
E ser útil com uma arma
A guerra eclodiu entre os Estados
E juntaram-se a Quantrill.
E foi no Condado de Clay.
Que o Frank e o Jesse finalmente aprenderam a matar.
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Frank e Jesse James
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Até limparem os vossos nomes
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Através dos rios e da Cordilheira
Continue Cavalgando, Cavalgando, Cavalgando Frank e Jesse James
Depois de Appomattox eles estavam do lado de perder
Portanto, não foi concedida nenhuma amnistia.
E como foras-da-lei cavalgaram
Eles cavalgaram contra os caminhos-de-ferro.,
And they rode against the banks
E cavalgaram contra o governador.
Nunca pediram uma palavra de agradecimento
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Frank e Jesse James
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Até limparem os vossos nomes
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Através das pradarias e das planícies
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Frank e Jesse James
Robert Ford, um pistoleiro
Trocou pela liberdade condicional.
Tirou a vida a James, o fora-da-lei.
Que ele entrou sorrateiramente e roubou
Ninguém sabe onde eles vieram a ser incompreendidos.
Mas os pobres agricultores do Missouri sabiam
Frank e Jesse fazem o melhor que podem.
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Frank e Jesse James
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Até limparem os vossos nomes
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Através dos rios e da Cordilheira
Continua a cavalgar, cavalgar, cavalgar
Frank e Jesse James
