Georgie Fame The Ballad Of Bonny Andamp; Clyde Lyrics

The Ballad Of Bonny Andamp; Clyde 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 hightailed
outa that town

got clean away in a stolen car
and waited till
the heat died down.

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 them they knew
that pretty
soon they'd be lyin'
beneath the ground together.
Pushin' up daisies
to welcome the sun and the morning dew.

Bonnie and Clyde advanced
their reputation
and made the graduation into the banking bus'ness.
Reach for the sky!
sweet talking Clyde would holler
as Bonnie
loaded dollars into the dewlap bag.
Now one brave man he tried to take
them alone;
They left him lying in a pool of blod
and laughed about
it all the way home.

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!
