Don’t anybody move! The money or your lives!
. Dm C Am Dm
One day they robbed a bank, it was their last foray
. C Am Dm
the cops appeared too soon, they couldn’t get away
. C Dm C Dm
And all the loot they had, it made them mighty mad
. Dm C Am Dm
And so they shot it out, Ma Baker and her sons
. C Am Dm
They didn’t want to hang, they died with blazing guns
. C Dm C Dm
and so the story ends, of one who left no friends.
