Story Of Bonnie And Clyde

The story of Bonnie and Clyde is the story the old folks knew

The story of Bonnie and Clyde if you listen I'll tell it to you

Clyde Barrow wouldn't work so he chopped off his toe

In a Huntsville prison where he got his parole

Then he traveled to Dallas where he found him a friend

It was Miss Bonnie Parker and that's where it all began

They found them a driver for their get away Ford

They was soon well known through a dozen states or more

Then Clyde's brother Buck and his pretty wife Blanche

Joined them and that made up the famous Barrow Gang

Bonnie Parker was a poet and Blanche Barrow was a cook

Clyde was a fast draw and Buck a smarter crook

Their driver was a wonderful mechanic so they say

And soon they were all famous in their own peculiar way

The stories were so many that you couldn't read them all

The legend grew and grew about the Barrows and the law

The Barrow gang swept through the land and many were their friends

But pretty soon they realized the law was closin' in

Out near Dexter Iowa they had a change of luck

In a gunfight with police Clyde lost his brother Buck

But Clyde and Bonnie got away the second time that year

Bonnie wrote her poems and she knew the end was near

At 9:15 on May the 23rd and '34

Near Shrevesport Louisiana death was knockin' at the door

Clyde Barrow and Miss Bonnie Parker came to meet a friend

And realized too late that they had come to meet their end

The story of Bonnie and Clyde they died as they lived by the gun

The story of Bonnie and Clyde their names are remembered as one
