about

A dark ballad of Bonnie & Clyde from the inside of their relationship in those final days and hours. Inspired by poems of Bonnie's and first hand accounts, this story looks at the human side of this infamous couple and that underneath it all was two people tragically in love.

lyrics

Bonnie you knew me
Before all the blood
Honest, upstanding
Not what I’ve become

Never a rich man
My givings are poor
But no man is poorer
Than under the law

Bonnie they took me
They ripped out my soul
They sentence that boy in that dark
Dark death hole

I miss the days of freedom
I miss the days of hope
But I'd rather be on the run
Than standing on my own

There’s something about a man
With a gun at his side
And a fire in his heart
With a storm as his guide
To the end of the earth and back for my Clyde

Bonnie she knew me
Oh Bonnie she wept
Bonnie my lover
Each night when we slept

I knew you’d back me
I knew you’d stay
Cos you knew the wager
You knew the stakes

When we were runnin
When we were scared
I knew you’d hold me
The only, one who ever cared

Gone are the days of dreaming
Of the place we’d call our home
Somewhere to raise a family
Three children or more

But how can we have mouths to feed
Always on the run
A loaf of bread is a crime
So I’ve made it my own
All is lost for me and my Clyde

We are the hunted
Our verdicts forgone
But the blood of resistance
It runs in me strong

There’s blood on my hands
And I’ll never stop
Till they have paid
For the soul that they’ve got

So boys come get me
I’m waiting for you
Six fingers loaded
Be sure, I’ll take a few of you

Bonnie come kiss me
Let’s go away
Let's find a place
Where we won't be afraid
They told the tale
We’d always be wrong
The law is a comin
Our time’s almost done
Will you still love me
When I am dead
Will they remember the man
Runnin from his head

Death to the ones, with reward on our heads
Death to the ones, that have haunted our beds
Death to the lawmen, the vultures will swarm
Death is the wager we’ve won
Our time is done....our time is done

Death for my Clyde
