Ballad Of Jessie James Lyrics

Well don't you wanna climb a mountain
Yeah don't you wanna ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her

Well don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna ride the range
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children
Just like Jesse, like Jesse James, just like Jesse boy

Well now don't you wanna swim the ocean
Yeah don't you wanna climb the highest tree
Drink some of Mama's loving potion
[?] just can't see

Don't you wanna be an outlaw, yeah baby
Just a poor boy caught on the skids
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children
Just like Billy, just like Billy the Kid

Well now Billy he was a bad boy
He won the Wild West
By the year of 21, had many notches on his gun
But someone laid him to an early rest

Well don't you wanna climb a mountain
Yeah don't you wanna ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her

Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna ride the range
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children
Just like Jesse

Yeah Jesse he was a bad boy
He won the Wild West
And many notches on his gun, as the year of 21
Someone laid him to an early rest
Set them out [?]

Don't you wanna climb a mountain
Yeah, don't you wanna ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her
Hey!

Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna ride the range
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children
Just, just like Jesse, [?]

Well don't you wanna be an outlaw
Don't you wanna be an outlaw
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Just like Jesse, just like Jesse, just like Jesse
Bring it on man, bring it on man, bring on
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
