flatt & scruggs - the story of bonnie and clyde lyrics

[intro]
the story of bonnie and clyde is a story the old folks knew
the story of bonnie and clyde if you listen i’ll tell it to you

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
they found them a driver for their getaway ford
they were soon well know through a dozen statеs or more
then clyde’s brothеr buck and his pretty wife blanche
joined them and that made up the famous barrow gang

[verse 3]
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

[verse 4]
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 closing in
[verse 5]
out near dexter, iowa, they had a change of luck
in a gunfight with po’lice 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

[verse 6]
at 9:15 on may the 23rd in ’34
near shreveport, 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

[outro]
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
