Anyone know Ladies Love Outlaws lyric?

[LiveMusic]

Below is my version of the Confederate Railroad rendition. In italics are words I am unsure of. If you know, advise! === "Ladies Love Outlaws" - Confederate Railroad (and Tom Rush / Waylon Jennings) intro: G G C Jessi was a lovely child from West Tennessee D G Leroy was an outlaw [i][b]hard and mean[/b][/i] (G) C One day she saw him staring and it chilled her to the bone D G She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own [chorus] G C D G Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs C Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold D G Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their souls [i][b]Ledno[/b][/i] was a lady, [i][b]London-built[/b][/i] to last Billy was a no good guitar picker runnin' from his past Listenin' to his songs she heard nothin' but bad news Still she made her mind up to try to get [i][b]in, win or lose[/b][/i] [chorus] [instrumental break] modulate +1/2 Eb, then G# (Confederate Railroad) Jessie liked Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands [i][b]Waymore[/b][/i] had a reputation as a woman's man Late one night her light of love finally gave a sign Jessie parked her cadillac and took her place in line [chorus] [chorus] [instrumental break] (Waylon Jennings' verion): Yeah ladies love outlaws Like babies love a bunch of stray dogs Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold And outlaws touch ladies anywhere they want

Unfortunatley I don't have the Tom Rush album any longer.

[i][b]Linda[/b] was a lady, [b]Blonde and built[/b] to last[/i] Haha, can you believe I thought it was Ledno and London-built. Man, it's a bitch to lose your hearing. (Actually, Confederate RR's singer sure wasn't clear.) [i]Waylon also did this line; (Late one night they got together in a motel room)[/i] Where did he do it? (It's not right where you had it, right, cuz that would be too many lines? Thanks, I hoped somebody could clear that up as a web search showed nothing. I don't understand this song. I mean, it starts out with Jessi being a child and she sees an outlaw, Leroy, and wants that look for a child of her own? I don't track on that. Was he staring at her? And a child wanting a child? I dunno. Then we have Linda and Billy. Okay, so we're gonna have a slew of characters here, so I kinda understand where he's going. Then, no, we go back to a Jessi. I assume maybe Jessi, the child, grew up. And then introduce Waymore. Waymore? Is that right? What a name. Man, Rush musta been smokin' dope on this one. (To his defense, maybe his lyric was clearer.) There is a band here that does the kind of music that I am working up on a setlist of mine, kinda heavy in the outlaw stuff... and this song, they do it very well. I mean, it's catchy as hell.

Confederate Railroad definitely has a few words different in their version. And the last line below, the best I can come up with is what I have shown. Sounds like he's singing "hard, hot and mean" but I'm not sure. If anyone knows, advise. [i]Jessi was a lovely child from West Tennessee Leroy was an outlaw [i][b]hard, hot and mean[/b][/i]
