Legend of Bonnie and Clyde
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.
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.
A Lenda de Bonnie e Clyde
Bonnie era uma garçonete em um pequeno café
Clyde Barrow era o vagabundo que a levou embora
Eles roubaram e mataram até que os dois morreram
Assim vai a Lenda de Bonnie e Clyde.
Os poemas que ela escreveu sobre a vida que levaram
Contavam dos policiais deixados morrendo ou mortos
Alguns dizem que Clyde fez da vida dela uma vergonha
Mas a lenda fez de Bonnie a cabeça do jogo.
A fúria crescia a cada dia que passava
As chances diminuindo a cada fuga
Com o fim se aproximando, mais difícil era a luta
Com sangue nas mãos, estavam fadados a serem pegos.
Eles voltavam da cidade em um brilhante dia de verão
Quando um homem que se tornara amigo apareceu no caminho
Sem pensar na morte, desviaram para o lado
Mas a morte estava lá, esperando por Bonnie e Clyde.
Dois anos de fuga terminaram naquele dia
Por roubar e matar, os dois tiveram que pagar
Mas sempre lembraremos como viveram e morreram
Assim vai a Lenda de Bonnie e Clyde.
