The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde
Outlaws in Love: The Legendary Tale of Bonnie and Clyde
Lyrics
Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
Bonnie worked as a waitress in a small cafe.
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away
Clyde Barrow, a rounder (a reckless person), took Bonnie away.
They both robbed and killed until both of them died
They engaged in robbery and murder until both met their demise.
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
This line summarizes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde.
The poems that she wrote of the life that they led
Bonnie wrote poems describing their life and the lawmen they encountered.
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
Her poems spoke of lawmen being left dead or dying.
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
Some believe Clyde brought shame to Bonnie's life.
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game
The legend, however, portrayed Bonnie as the leader of their criminal activities.
The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
Their rampage became more chaotic as time passed.
The odds growing smaller with each getaway
The odds of their success decreased with each escape.
With the end growing closer, the harder they fought
As their end approached, they fought harder against capture.
With blood on their hands, they were bound to get caught
Having committed crimes, they were inevitably destined to be caught.
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
They returned from town on a sunny day.
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way
They encountered a man they had befriended who became an obstacle.
With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side
Without thinking about the consequences, they stopped.
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde
Tragically, death awaited Bonnie and Clyde at that moment.
Two years or runnin' was ended that day
After two years of crime, their run came to an end that day.
For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay
They paid the price for their crimes of robbery and murder.
But we'll always remember how they lived and died
The song suggests that their lives and deaths will be remembered.
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
This line reiterates the legend of Bonnie and Clyde.
