Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee
Boone was an outlaw bad like mink
And then she saw him starin' and it chilled her to the bone
And she knew she had to see that look on a child of her own.

Well ladies (ladies) love outlaws (outlaws)
Like babies (babies)love stray dogs (stray dogs)
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.

Instrumental

Linda was a lady, she was blonde and built to last
Bill was a no good guitar picker runnin' from his past
She heard all his songs, tellin' nothin' but bad news
But she made her mind up to get him, win or lose.

But ladies (ladies) love outlaws (outlaws)
Like babies (babies)love stray dogs (stray dogs)
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.

Jessie likes Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
Peewee had a reputation as a ladie's man
And then one night they got together, in a motel room
Jessi parked her Cadillac then took her place in line.

But ladies (ladies) love outlaws (outlaws)
Like babies (babies)love stray dogs (stray dogs)
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.

But ladies (ladies) love outlaws (outlaws)
Like babies (babies)love stray dogs (stray dogs)
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies (anywhere)
