The Legend Of Bonnie And Clyde Lyrics - The Legend Of Bonnie & Clyde - Merle Haggard & The Strangers

Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe 

Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away 

They both robbed and killed until both of them died 

So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde 

The poems that she wrote of the life that they led 

Told of the lawmen left dying or dead 

Some say that Clyde made her life a shame 

But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game 

The rampage grew wilder with each passing day 

The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way 

With the end growing closer, the harder they fought 

With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught

They drove back from town on one bright summer day 

When a man they befriended stepped out in the way 

With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side 

But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde 

Photos 

Two years or runnin' was ended that day 

For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay 

But we'll always remember how they lived and died 

So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde 

Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
