Waylon Jennings – Ladies Love Outlaws lyrics

Verse 1:
D G
Bessie was a lovely child from West Tennessee
A D
Leroy was an outlaw hard and mean
G
One day she saw him starring & it chilled her to the bone
A D
She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own

Chorus:
D G
'Cause ladies love outlaws
A D
Like babies love stray dogs
G
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
A D
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Verse 2:
D G
Linda was a lady,blonde and built to last
A D
Benny was a no good guitar picker,running from his past
G
She heard all his songs telling nothing but bad news
A D
But she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose

Chorus.

Verse 3:
D G
Jessie like cadillacs & diamonds on her hands
A D
Waymore had a reputation as a lady's man
G
Late one night her light of love finally gave a sign
A D
Jessie parked her cadillac and took her place in line

Chorus (x2).
