The Legend Of Bonnie And Clyde - Tammy Wynette

Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe

Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away

They both robbed and killed until both loved and died

So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde

The poem 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

Their odds growing smaller with each get-away

The end getting 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 be-friended stepped out in the way

With no thought of dying they both took his side

But the death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde

Now two years of running was ended that day

For robbing and killing they both had to pay

We’ll always remember how they lived and died

So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde
