Ladies love Outlaws Waylon Jennings                       # 08 – 7

 

 

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

 

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

 

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
