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.
