GIRLS, WOMEN AND LADIES
words and music: Ed & Patsy bruce and Ron Peterson
[D] There was only [G] me and her and [D] him
The bar was giving last call, so I thought I’d move on [A] in
[D] And I was slick [G] and feeling like a man [D]
So I [G] took the stool between ‘em
And ordered one more round for me and her [A] and him [D]
I placed my [Gm] arm across the back of her bar [D] stool
And I don’t re[G]member what I said
But at the time, it sounded [A] cool
She pushed her drink away and never looked at me [D]
She just paid her tab tipped the man
And left me sitting there alone [A] with him
Chorus: And he said, “There’s girls and there’s [A] women and there’s
la[D]ies
There’s [G] yeses and there’s [A] no’s and there’s [D] maybes
There’s[G] teasing and [A] pleasing they start [D] learning when they’re
[G] babies
There’s [A] girls , there’s women and there’s [D] ladies”
Well, he push[D]ed his old straw hat back and he grinned
And he said, [G] “Ain’t they all a mystery?
Sonny, it’s a [A] sin but they’re all [D] sitting on the world [G] we’re
trying to win
Ah, but you [G] know I love a mystery
So let’s drink another round to you and [A] me and [D] them”
Chorus:
note: last line of second chorus is “I love all the girls, and women
and the ladies”
