Clyde Barrows Lament

Clyde Barrow was the name that the common folk sang

Of Robbery with Bonnie and the whole Barrow gang

Chorus:

With a gun in your hand and a price on your head

All the people will know you by name

Killed the first lawman at the old Stringtown fair

Three more left dying by Christmas that year.

With a gun in your hand and a price on your head

All the people will know you by name

So the order came out ‘Let there be no doubt’

Get the Ranger Frank Hamer and tough Manny Gault

5 Weeks and 5 states tracking hard on the road

They finally meet up on May 23rd

And so they fell no heroic hurrah

150 rounds wreck their black stolen car
