Verse: 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 ʼCause 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: 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: D G Jessie like cadillacs & diamonds on her hands A D Waymore had a reputation as a ladyʼs 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
