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-doin' One lazy afternoon down Savannah way They robbed a store and high-tailed out of that town Got clean away in a stolen car And waited 'til the heat died down
[Verse 2] 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 them alone They left him lying in a pool of blood And laughed about it all the way home
[Bridge] Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one Running and hiding from every 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 Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun and the morning dew
