Bonnie Parker

“You've read the story of Jesse James, of how he lived and died; if you're still in need of something to read, here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde.”

“If a policeman is killed in Dallas, and they have no clue to guide; if they can't find a fiend, they just wipe their slate clean and hang it on Bonnie and Clyde.”

“So they carried on till the end of the song, of the story of Bonnie and Clyde.”

“They call them cold-blooded killers; they say they are heartless and mean; but I say this with pride, that I once knew Clyde when he was honest and upright and clean.”

“They've been shot at before, but they do not ignore that death is the wages of sin.”

“Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang, I'm sure you all have read, how they rob and steal and how they kill; they say they are cold-blooded to kill.”

“They don't think they're too smart or desperate, they know the law always wins.”

“But the laws fooled around, kept taking him down, and locking him up in a cell, till he said to me, 'I'll never be free, so I'll meet a few of them in hell.'”

“If they try to act like citizens and rent them a nice little flat, about the third night they're invited to fight by a sub-gun's rat-tat-tat.”

“Some day they'll go down together; they'll bury them side by side. To a few, it'll be grief—to the law, a relief—but it's death for Bonnie and Clyde.”

“From heart-break and strife, they drifted through life; and left behind them a trial of blood.”
