WAYLON JENNINGS - LADIES LOVE OUTLAWS lyrics

rate me

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).
