BONNIE and CLYDE

 

(two bar instrumental intro)

 

Where to begin

Born without sin

Bonnie Parker

Until she met him

Never enough

The times were tough

They wanted more

Took what they saw

They robbed family stores

And flouted the law

Clyde Barrow was a habitual thief

A life full of sorrow

And perpetual grief

Inevitably the caught

And took him down

To serve rough time

upon a prison farm

 

(Instrumental break)

 

Out on parole

Out for revenge

They gathered a gang

Robbing banks

The Midlands across

Never counting the loss

No life held dear

They just shot their way clear

No longer a game

Shot their way to fame

So truly begun

Life spent on the run

Bonnie and Clyde

With guns by their side

With the law after them

Frank Hamer and his ‘G’ men

Until finally betrayed

A plan for capture was laid

In a hail of crossfire

Bullets riddled the car

Tore through the door

As they slumped to the floor

 

And so they died

Both Bonnie and Clyde

The end of short lives

The lives of Bonnie and Clyde.
