Bessie was a lovely child from West Tennessee
A D
Leroy was an outlaw hard and mean
D G
One day she saw him staring and it chilled her to the bone
A D
And 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
D 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
D 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
Ladies love outlaws
A D
Like babies love stray dogs
D G
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
A D
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul
[Verse 3]
D G
Jessie liked Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
A D
Waymore had a reputation as a lady's man
D 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]
D G
'Cause ladies love outlaws
A D
Like babies love stray dogs
D G
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
A D
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul
D G
Ladies love outlaws
A D
Like babies love a bunch of stray dogs
D G
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
A D
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul
