Bonnie and Clyde

(Instrumental intro)

Where to begin
Born without sin
Bonnie Parker
Until she met him
Never enough
The times were tough
They wanted more
Took what they saw
They robbed family stores
And flouted the law
Clyde Barrow was a habitual thief
A life full of sorrow
And perpetual grief
Inevitably they caught 
And took him down
To serve rough time
upon a prison farm

(Instrumental break)

Out on parole
Out for revenge
He gathered a gang
Robbing banks
The Midlands across
Never counting the loss
No life held dear
They just shot their way clear
No longer a game
Shot their way to fame
So truly begun
Life spent on the run
Bonnie and Clyde
With guns by their side

With the law after them
Frank Hamer and his ‘G’ men
Until finally betrayed
A plan for capture was laid
In a hail of crossfire
Bullets riddled the car
Tore through the door
As they slumped to the floor

And so they died
Both Bonnie and Clyde
The end of short lives
The lives of Bonnie and Clyde.
