Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde
Composer(s): Mitch Murray - Peter Callander
Performer(s): 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
