The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde - Georgie Fame, The Danish Radio Big Band

Bonnie and Clyde were pretty looking people

But I can tell you people

They were the devil’s children

Bonnie and Clyde began their evil doing

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 advanced their reputation

And made the graduation

Into the banking business

Reach for the sky sweet-talking Clyde would holler

As Bonnie loaded dollars in the dewlap bag

Now one brave man-he tried to take 'em alone

They left him lying in a pool of blood

And laughed about it all the way home.

Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one

Running and hiding

From every American lawman’s gun

They used to laugh about dying

But deep inside 'em they knew

That pretty soon they’d be lying

Beneath the ground together

Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun

And the morning dew

Acting upon reliable information

A federal 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

They died together.
