- Verse: -
I [B]met a pretty girl the next town ov[E]er
Ru[B]nning like a river, thin and lo[F#]ng
Ot[B]her than her dress
She looked [E]mighty well depressed
So[B] I asked th[F#]is little lady what w[B]as wrong
Sh[B]e said, "All my life I've tried to be an ou[E]tlaw
I'[B]ve tried to spit and chew and steal a[F#]nd rob
But I a[B]in't no good at thieven'
So I mi[E]ght as well be leaven
I [B]think I'm off and [F#]go get a [B]job"
I [B]told the pretty girl, "Don't be so fo[E]olish
Do[B]n't be so quick to leave a life[F#] of crime
See I'[B]ll be quick to call it
You ca[E]n practice on my wallet
An[B]d that way if you'r[F#]e caught you won't d[B]o time"
- Chorus -
[F#]Just rob me!
[B]Just rob me!
[B]A pretty face like yours don't come for [F#]free
[B]If I can call you honey
Well then [E]you can take my money
So [B]darling keep your gun
[B]And just rob me
-(Drew's) Instrumental-
[B] [E] [B] [E] [B]
- Verse 2 -
I [B]saw that girl again a few months l[E]ater
To[B] see her with her gun was a[F#] relief
I said, [B]"Honey you've got attributes
Like lac[E]e and lips and high heeled boots
Bu[B]t Dearie your jus[F#]t no good as [B]a thief"
S[B]he said, "Mister how do you know that I'm f[E]ailing
I[B] might as well rob twenty banks[F#] today"
I look[B]ed into her eyes
And sa[E]id, Missy, I'd be surprised,
Y[B]ou're pointing that [F#]there gun the [B]wrong way.
- Repeat Chorus -
- Bridge -
[F#] Maybe every woman is an [B]outlaw
I'm [F#]pretty sure they're pretty thieves in[B] black
F# (hold then break) F# (hold then break)
They'll make you scream like smoke
F# (hold then break)
And then they rob you broke
But I suppose don't mind [F#]being robbed[F#] like[F#] that
- Verse 3 -
So[B] my pretty thief and I started a fa[E]mily
Ye[B]ah my outlaw's been giving m[F#]e in laws ya'all
She kept[B] her thieving art
Sure as [E]rain she stole my heart
she [B]tells me it's for a [B]worthy cause
- Second Chorus/Ending -
[F#]Just rob me!
[B]Just rob me!
[B]Deep down my darling is a thief[F#]
[B]She may do the dishes but I[E] pay her for my kisses
[B]I know its not malicious
she?s just[E] in the thieving business
[B]She calls herself my missus
but she?s [E]got me by the britches
I say d[B]arling keep your gun[F#]
A[B]nd just rob me
