Waylon Jennings - Ladies Love Outlaws Lyrics






Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee
Leroy was an outlaw wild as a mink
One day 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.

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

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

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Jessi like the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man
Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign
Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line.

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul...

  13. E.... G....

    Ladies Really Do Love Outlaws!!!!!!

    J.... S....

    sad when you're a nice, kind boy. lol

  23. K.... H....

    Just LOVE this song!

  24. B.... B....

    Waylon was right then and he's right today. Ladies DO love outlaws, and by Outlaws I mean men who are confident, motivated and display social dominance. Women aren't interested in soy-boys unless they're part of the far cultural left, enrolled in a four year university and are only seeking someone to agree with their one dimensional view of the world.

    B.... B....

    I disagree. Ladies love bad boys that have a soft spot for women. No far cultural lefties need apply.

    B.... B....

    Donald Trump is the ultimate bad ass, alpha male , outlaw - 'nuff said.

  25. E.... T....

    Genius..best true talent Nashville ever seen..work on stage and dukes of hazard ..says it all.r.i.p

  26. A.... B....

    I miss Waylon's music. Gkad he's not around to see the state of modern music. Though I believe he woulda got a kick out of Trump.

  27. B.... S....

    Grew up country

  28. C.... P....

    What is the the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted.

    C.... P....

    That is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

  29. v.... ....

    Waylon Jennings was, is and always will be one of the all-time country greats.

  30. T.... S....

    OUTLAWS LOVES LADIES~

  31. J.... B....

    one of my greats saw him everytime he was in Dayton ohio!!!!

  32. J.... B....

    willie Waylon and me!!

  33. B.... A....

    "Billy was a no-good guitar picker running from his past"

  34. C.... S....

    Oh my, first time I've read the lyrics. Wonder how Jessi felt about these lines?
    "Jessi like the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
    Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man
    Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign
    Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line."

    C.... S....

    I guess she loved her true outlaw ;)

  35. C.... S....

    "Ladies Love Outlaws"
    Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee
    Leroy was an outlaw wild as a mink
    One day 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.

    'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
    Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
    And outlaws touch the ladies
    Somewhere deep down in their soul.

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

    Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
    Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
    And outlaws touch the ladies
    Somewhere deep down in their soul.

    Jessi like the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
    Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man
    Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign
    Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line.

    'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
    Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
    And outlaws touch the ladies
    Somewhere deep down in their soul.

    Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
    Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
    And outlaws touch the ladies
    Somewhere deep down in their soul...

    songwriter: LEE CLAYTON

    C.... S....

    what outlaws mean, like rob and kill people?

    C.... S....

    What I wanna know is what kind of mom names their kid Waymore?

  36. S.... C....

    by far the greatest country music singer of all time.

    S.... C....

    @Ramhag Ramhag
    Oh boy that's a really hard one to call. I think Merle had a little more "tough-life feeling". Waylon had a little more "good-times" feeling. I really can't say but my personal choice was Waylon. But I got NO PROBLEM if anybody goes with Merle.

    What about you? Who do you think?

    S.... C....

    Hammerschlägen M - I don’t have the stats in front of me , but I would say easily Merle - Merle lived it - wrote it - sung it - total package , they call him the working mans poet ,,,,,i m a huge Waylon fan too

    S.... C....

    @Ramhag Ramhag
    No need for statistics my friend. Just go with your gut feeling. You know, what ever you like. Don't let anything else influence you.
    It's YOUR favorite after all.

    S.... C....

    Hammerschlägen M - true , here is. Good example - when media and fans talk about the best of all -time , it’s always Merle and Hank Sr. Because of they wrote majority of their songs , Waylon is usually up there too , George Strait is great , but he didn’t write any of his songs , my point ... I believe the top 3. All -time is 1-Merle 2- Hank Sr 3 - Waylon ,,,, my personal favorite top 3 is 1 - Merle 2- George Jones 3- Waylon ,,, I was too young to grow with Hank Sr, but what a beast ,,,,,, I enjoy the conversation with you

    S.... C....

    @Ramhag Ramhag
    I also enjoyed the conversation my friend. It is always good to meet someone that enjoys Outlaw Country Music.

  37. p.... ....

    Ah Waylon! He is sexy even when it's a still photo. His voice and inflection are unique as was he. All the good ones are almost gone...

  38. R.... C....

    Two Great Versions of a Fab Sonic Treasure!

    M.... W....

    Bob Martin Homophobe pos.

    I can relate brother,my wife and I have been together for 21 years,ever since I served my last sentence and haven't been in trouble with the law since then.She has stood beside me while I was coming down several times and even tho she did bitch about it,I knew it's because she cares that I stay around awhile and help with grankids,all 7 of'em and still counting.Be cool brother cause some girls do care about if we live or die,ya know?

  70. H.... N....

    You're welcome. A lot of folks don't know about Shooter but if you look him up the more he ages the more he looks like his daddy.

  71. r.... ....

  72. H.... N....

    I have since I was very young loved that he put himself (Waymore) and his wife Jesse (Colter) in this song. I love it and yes I love outlaws too. I also love the fact that the music now lives on in their son Shooter.

  73. C.... ....

  87. N.... ....

    @rosemarie443
    Any old lady with her husband or ol' man in an M/C will not want their CLUB referred to as a gang. They are not even on the same level as a gang. They like to be considered brothers or family. Thats all I am saying.

  88. r.... ....

    @Brian111177 what do you mean by this being a club. that is not wht valerie said, i guess she belongs to a motorcycle group and thinks that her man is a mean dude.

  89. N.... ....

    @valeriemci1

    First off, I bet your Old Man would tell you that it isn't a GANG. It is a club.

  90. D.... K....

    I hate rap, and Lady Ga-Ga.
    I'm just puttin' that out there. RIP Waylon

  91. r.... ....

    HAPPY NEW YEAR, HOPE THIS IS BETTER THAN THE LAST

  92. r.... ....

    Yes, but Jesse got him boy. and waylon loved her

  93. V.... M....

    Oh what a song this is!!!??? You gotta have your man in a motocycle gang to understand this one!

  94. l.... ....

    'never could find waylon' ahahaha ~~~~ highwaymen

  95. J.... r....

    Notice how the music is behind him. It is him. He never needed much, and not even a "pretty voice". Miss you hoss, love you.

  96. R.... A....

    thanksfor sharing~~

  97. D.... J....

    @CCRoxtar Amen

  98. C.... C....

    So true, so true! Even after the outlaws mistreat the ladies (& the stray dogs bite the babies) they don't learn a thing.
