The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde Lyrics - Singles - 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,
