Go Down Together

I got to summarize Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde by Jeff Guinn today, and came across some fun facts about America’s favorite outlaw duo.

First off, this quote:

THEN this poem penned by Bonnie Parker, which this intriguing biography takes its title from:

You’ve read the story of Jesse James
Of how he lived and died;
If you’re still in need
Of something to read,
Here’s the story of Bonnie and Clyde.

….

Some day they’ll go down together;
And they’ll bury them side by side;
To few it’ll be grief
To the law a relief
But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.
