The ballad of bonnie & 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 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.
