Bonnie and Clyde were pretty lookin' people
|
But I can tell you people They were the devil's children,
|
Bonnie and Clyde began their evil doin'
|
One lazy afternoon down Savannah way,
|
They robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town
|
Got clean away in a stolen car,
|
And waited till the heat died down,
|
Bonnie and Clyde advanced their reputation
|
And made the graduation
|
Into the banking business.
|
"Reach for the sky" sweet-talking Clyde would holler
|
As Bonnie loaded dollars in the dewlap bag,
|
Now one brave man-he tried to take 'em alone
|
They left him Iyin' in a pool of blood,
|
And laughed about it all the way home.
|
Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one
|
Running and hiding from ev'ry American lawman's gun.
|
They used to laugh about dyin',
|
But deep inside 'em they knew
|
That pretty soon they'd be lyin'
|
Beneath the ground together
|
Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun
|
And the morning dew.
|
Acting upon reliable information
|
A fed'ral deputation laid a deadly ambush.
|
When Bonnie and Clyde came walking in the sunshine
|
A half a dozen carbines opened up on them.
|
Bonnie and Clyde, they lived a lot together
|
And finally together they died,
|
