The story of Bonnie and Clyde is a story the old folks knew
The story of Bonnie and Clyde if you'll 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 Bonny Parker and that's where it all began
They found them a driver for their getaway Ford
They were 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
Bonny Parker was a poet and Blanche Barrow was a cook
Clyde was a fast draw and Buck a smarted 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 Barrow's 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 Bonny got away the second time that year
Bonny wrote her poems and she knew the end was near
At nine fifteen on May the twenty third and thirty four
Near Shreveport Louisiana death was knockin' at the door
Clyde Barrow and Miss Bonny 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
