A song putting the author Henry James and his real life philosopher brother William into the Wild West, giving them a younger sibling - legendary outlaw Jesse James.

lyrics

They were three all with different aims
Billy, Hank and Jesse James
They play hard at their dangerous games
Billy, Hank and Jesse James

They would all win their fames
Bill, Hank and Jesse James

William, ”Bill”, the oldest of the three
He dived deep into philosophy
Spread his seed all over the prairie
Became the dad of American Psychology.

If you are into calling names,
Remember William James

Henry, ”Hank”, he was number two
Working hard on his point of view
Lacking life (said some) and hard to read
He assured that brains had to bleed.

Hiding out at river Thames
Critics got Henry James.

Jesse James, he was the pup
Had to drain first the poisoned cup
When hell broke out and all went down in flames
Two escaped and there lay Jesse James

All the world seemed having some complaints
Gainst Billy, Hank and Jesse James
