The Ballad Of Bonny Clyde - Lyrics by George Fame


Lyrics
Bonnie and Clyde were pretty lookin' peoplebut 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 hightailed outa that towngot clean away in a stolen carand waited till the heat died down.
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 them they knewthat pretty soon they'd be lyin'beneath the ground together.
Pushin' up daisies to welcome the sun and the morning dew.
Bonnie and Clyde advanced their reputationand made the graduation into the banking bus'ness.
Reach for the sky!sweet talking Clyde would holleras Bonnie loaded dollars into the dewlap bag.
Now one brave man he tried to take them alone;
They left him lying in a pool of blodand laughed about it all the way home.
Acting upon reliable informationa Fed'ral deputation laid a deadly ambush.when Bonnie and Clyde came walking in the sunshinea half a dozen carbines opened up on them.
Bonnie and Clyde they lived a lot togetherand finally together they died!
