Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
|
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away
|
They both robbed and killed until they both died.
|
So goes the Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.
|
|
The poems that she wrote of the life that they led
|
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
|
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
|
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game.
|
|
The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
|
The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way
|
With the end growing closer the harder they fought
|
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught.
|
|
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
|
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way
|
With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side
|
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde.
|
|
Two years or runnin' was ended that day
|
For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay
|
But we'll always remember how they lived and died
|
So goes the Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.
