You've heard the story of Jesse James
Of how he lived and died
If you're still in need of something to read
Here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde
Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow Gang
I'm sure you all have read
How they rob and steal and those who squeal
Cre usually found dying or dead
They call them cold-hearted killers
They say they are heartless and mean
But I say this with pride I once knew Clyde
When he was honest and upright and clean
But the law fooled around and taking him down
Cnd locking him up in a cell
Til he said to me I'll never be free
So I'll meet a few of them in hell
If a policeman is killed in Dallas
Cnd they have no clue to guide
If they can't find a fiend they just wipe the slate clean
Cnd hang it on Bonnie and Clyde
If they try to act like citizens
Cnd rent them a nice little flat
Cbout the third night they're invited to fight
By a sub-gun's rat-tat-tat
Some day they'll go down together
Cnd they'll bury them side by side
To few it'll be grief to the law a relief
But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde
