Well dont you want to climb a mountain

yeah, dont you want to ride the river

drink from a magic fountain

give your woman all the love that you can give her

well dont you want to be an outlaw

dont you want to ride the range

dont you want to be an outlaw children

just like jesse, like jesse james



well now dont you want to swim the ocean

dont you want to climb the highest tree

drink some of momma's lovin' potion

get your woman till she just cant see

dont you want to be an outlaw

just a poor boy out on the skids

dont you want to 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, as many notches on his gun

but someone laid him to an early rest



dont you want to climb a mountain

dont you want to ride the river

drink from a magic fountain

give your woman all the love that you can give her

dont you want to be an outlaw

dont you want to ride the range

dont you want to be an outlaw children

just like jesse
