The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde Lyrics & Tabs by Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames
The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde
guitar chords lyrics
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 lyin' in a pool of blood
Now one brave man
He tried to take 'em alone
They left him lyin' 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 every 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 federal 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
