Various Artists - The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde (Bonnie & Clyde) lyrics

You've all read the story of Jesse James How he lived, how he died Gave you a kick — huh — you're kickin' for more Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde So get this, Clyde got himself a girl She's beautiful and her name is Bonnie They formed a gang of two as much as we know Their names, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde When I first met Clyde, I can remember Strictly on the level, loved me tender I suppose society's to blame Never had the chance to make a good name Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde Everything's been written black and white They say we k** for pleasure, gun to jack knife It's only when the teller takes to screamin' A trigger-happy smile gets pulled with meaning Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde Everytime a copper stops a bullet A store gets done, they're sure to say we pulled it The headlines always read the morning after Murder signed - Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde No use dreaming what life could have been like A nine to five day job as clean as snow white Within three days comes the sound tac tac tac Of machine guns coming back to attack tack tack Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde Takin' in first prize, lucky couple All they had to do was die in double The cops were garne, the Barrows went down fighting That autumn day, green leaves fell like lightning Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde One of these days, together, six feet under They'II lay us down, in unmarked graves, I wonder Who'II give a damn, who'II want to know tomorrow Who was Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
