Lyrics for Georgie Fame - The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde

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-talkin' 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
And laughed about it all the way home

[Instrumental Interlude]

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
