The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde lyrics

Bonnie And Clyde
GEORGIE FAME

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,
