about

"Bonnie & Clyde Funky Blues" was born out of trouble to make up for my misadventure...but that's Another story!! This Funky Blues song delivers with a Tempestuous horn section, B3 and Rocking guitar!...while I take you on a short tour of their Historic and Illustrious career intermingled with the bloody violence of their ending. In between verses you can 'almost hear' a pursuit going on. This is One Entertaining song!

lyrics

Bonnie Parker was just a young gal
working at a Dallas cafe
She would write of her loneliness
Somebody take it away, "Sal"
All the world would know her as,
"Cigar Smoking Gun Moll"

Clyde Barrow was raised a poor farm boy
Without a dime to his name
Trouble sent him to Eastham Farm
Never came out the same, No
Anger fed this young man's rage...Come On!!

Lovers doomed to earn a reputation
Robbing banks and killing in frustration
Never sought for fame or adoration
The news made you and overnight sensation

On the run their lives came undone when
Bonnie got burned in a roll
Buck soon died of a gunshot
Almost one year to go
Soon the law will get you all, Come On!!

Frank Hamer, ably the law man
Esteemed by the Texas State
Tough! He was was so tenacious!
Soon that hunt met its fate, Ya'll
In the end the law came down.
Oh No!

Lovers doomed to earn a reputation
Robbing banks and killing in frustration
Never sought for fame or adoration
The news made you and overnight sensation!

Solo

In the end the law came down. Oh NO!

Careless ways have brought you to attention
Thinkin' more without no explanation
People turned their hearts in retribution
Bullets pierced you both in execution

Now the legend will live on forever
History paints you in illicit splendor
Clyde and Bonnie this is what's remembered
How you lived and loved and died in danger

Lovers doomed to earn a reputation
Robbing banks and killing in frustration
Never sought for fame or adoration
The news made you an overnight sensation!
