The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde

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 lyin' 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 every 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 federal 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
