Momma said this day would surely come She said those two could hide and they could run But the things they did could never be undone She knew their days would end with the sound of a gun Most folks know the story of Bonnie and Clyde As two young kids in love on a wild ride Now for a minute put all that you know aside And I'll tell you a tale I saw with my own two eyes The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I watched my momma cry The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I saw death with my own eyes The devil rode in a Ford V8 to a reckoning on that day The life I knew would never be the same A muggy May night turned into a muggy May day Frank Hamer and his handpicked lawmen in ambush lay Old man Methvin said the two would come this way So they jacked up his truck just so they'd stop and stay Barefoot Clyde doing 85 around that bend At the top of the hill he slowed when he saw his friend Bonnie and Clyde stopped by just to lend a hand Hell and brimstone commenced, Clyde and Bonnie met their end The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I watched my momma cry The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I saw death with my own eyes The devil rode in a Ford V8 to a reckoning on that day The life I knew would never be the same The gunsmoke cleared to reveal the awful scene Word spread fast, the crowd that grew turned real mean They tore and cut them, tried to pick them clean So the law towed it all away just to intervene In my fifth grade classroom on that day When the law with the car in tow stopped out front to say Take a good look kids, death will come your way When you break the law or forget to pray The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I watched my momma cry Oh Lordy now The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I saw death with my own eyes Good Heavens child The devil rode in a Ford V8 to a reckoning on that day The life I knew would never be the same I saw that car and I won't tell you no lie My heart ran cold as ice when I looked inside In death they were close, Bonnie leaned on Clyde Their young lives were gone, but their eyes stared wide Bonnie asked to be buried next to Clyde But her momma said no, not upon her life So the last time they were ever side by side Was in that car on the day they died The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I watched my momma cry Oh Lordy now The day they shot down Bonnie and Clyde I saw death with my own eyes Good Heavens child The devil rode in a Ford V8 to a reckoning on that day The life I knew would never be the same May they rest in peace
