I was mindin' my own down on Deep Elum Street The sun was comin' up and the was singin' sweet When a car around the corner, long and lean and brown Pulls up to the curb beside me and rolls their window A man throws me a dollar and I asked him that for A pack of Luckies and a Paper over at the store I peer into the window there's a man and a inside Holy Jumpin' Bolts of Lightnin' it's Miss and Mr. Clyde
I made a joke about Lucky that I never should've used Their patience was proportional to the shortness of fuse Bonnie's pretty little trigger finger was twitchin' by her And Clyde was his fingernails with a foot long Bowie Knife I brung 'em back the and the Dallas Mornin' Sun I told 'em they made the papers front and column one Ah, we need no smart-assed kid actin' as our guide Now just run along you never seen, Miss Bonnie and Mr. Clyde
