    The Story of Bonnie & Clyde

    This is about a couple who lived on the edge
    Till the day they both died
    This is the story of
    The legendary Bonnie & Clyde

    Bonnie Parker was a waitress
    In a little diner so called bar
    Where one night she caught a burgler
    Trying to steal her momma's car

    A handsome young Stallion
    With a pistol strapped to his side
    She was so intrigued and captivated
    By this sly man named Clyde

    So she ran off with this Clyde Barrow
    Even became his partner in crime
    Killing and robbing and stealing
    And never doing a minute of time

    They came upon a gas station
    Robbing it was their plan
    But instead they kidnapped the attendant
    C.W. Moss, a kind of dim-witted man

    C.W. soon fitted right in
    And their crime spree shifted into high gear
    They kept on with the robbings and killings
    Showing no signs of fear

    Jealous of the fortune, Clydes Brother Buck
    He and his wife Blanche wanted in
    So clyde agreed to them joining the gang
    That's where all the trouble began

    Blanche was a preachers daughter 
    She thought she did no wrong
    She met her match with Bonnie Parker
    Cause they didn't even get along

    Buck and Clyde were known killers now
    Were corrupt and had acquired a little fame.
    Blanche didn't like it at all
    And on Bonnie, laid all the blame

    They'd graduated from the small time
    And were now hitting the banks
    So they called in the "Big Guns"
    An Old Texas Ranger named Frank

    With all the robbing and killing
    They'd made theirselves a name
    But Frank Hammer was out for Justice
    He wasn't there to play no game

    He came out of retirement 
    Just to hunt the two down
    There was alot of talk and gossip
    When he and his rangers came into town

    He had them cornered in a bank
    In a shootout the bullets began to fly
    Buck was shot in the chest
    He had to lay there and die

    Looking for a way out
    They left Blanche behind
    Buckshot filled her eyes
    And now she's permantly blind

    Scurring out the back
    C.W., Bonnie and Clyde
    All bloody and skinned up
    Looking for a place to hide

    Not clearly thinking right
    C.W. drove right to his dad
    Seeing how corrupt his son had become
    The man became extreamly mad

    He didn't like the idea
    But he let them stay
    He told them when they were well
    They could be on their way

    Mr. Moss didn't fancy Bonnie & Clyde
    So he came up with a plan
    He picked up the phone and dialed one day
    And said, "Get me the Man"

    "Frank Hammer, Texas Ranger"
    Is what the voice on the other end said
    I got Bonnie & Clyde here,
    You want em' Alive or Dead?

    Together they sat up an ambush
    On a lonely Louisiana Road
    Not very far at all
    From old Man Moss's humble abode

    Acting as bait, he flattened his tire
    And there in the road he sat
    Along came Bonnie & Clyde
    He stood to his feet waving his hat

    They slowed down to see
    "I got a flat" old man Moss said
    Clyde got out to help the man
    They opened fire and shot both of them dead

    Through all the killing and robbing
    Bonnie Parker had a story to tell
    She was quite the little poet
    And wrote very well

    "The street Girl" & "The story of Suicide Sal"
    Two she wrote before she died
    But the best and last one she wrote was
    "The Story Of Bonnie & Clyde"

    i am in a band and we were in the middle of writing this song about bonnie and clyde and i thought..well this poem is talking about them too. i must read it. if our song never sees the light of day, i'm glad there's still people out there like you giving them the much romanticized recognition they so righteously deserve. had a great day!

    I loved that movie. I saw it when I was a kid and have been infatuated with it ever since. I like all the old gangster movies. I done a lot of research on them before I wrote this. But the romance wasn't what it seemed in the movie, they were in love but poor Clyde Barrow was impotent. No sex was involved. Isn't that a shamed as much as they were in love. Still I love the old gangsters.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
