Verse 1: 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 'Cause 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 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 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 3: D G Jessie like cadillacs & diamonds on her hands A D Waymore had a reputation as a lady's 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
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention The devil take your stereo and your record collection! The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking? It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your souls Your conscience will be mine All mine
We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation "throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your souls Your conscience will be mine, all mine
