Ballad Of Jeese James (A.K.A. 'Don't You Wanna Be An Outlaw')
This version was recorded in March of 1972 at a rehearsal. At this time, Bruce was in the Bruce Springsteen
Band, not the E Street Band. This is a fantastic song that has a very catchy chorus.

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