Don't you want to climb a mountain
(Well) Don't you want to ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love you can give her
Don't you want to be an outlaw
Don't you want to ride the range
Don't you want to be an outlaw, children
Just like Jesse, like Jesse James, like Jesse
Don't you want to swim the ocean
Don't you want to climb the highest tree
Drink some of Mama's love potion
Kiss your woman til she just can't see
Don't you want to be an outlaw
Just a poor boy out on the skids
Don't you want to be an outlaw, children
Just like Billy, like Billy the Kid
Jesse was a bad boy
He roamed the wild west
And many notches on his gun, as the year of '21
Someone laid him to an early rest
Don't you want to climb a mountain
(Well) Don't you want to ride the river
Drink from a magic fountain
Give your woman all the love that you can give her
Don't you want to be an outlaw
Don't you want to ride the range
Don't you want to be an outlaw, children
Just like Jesse, like Jesse James, like Jesse
Don't you want to be an outlaw
Just like Jesse, just like Jesse, just like Jesse James
