Another Ride With Clyde

so you better get your gun
Tell a driver put this Marmon in high you're gonna
take another ride with Clyde
Oh the bullets flew and the Barrow gang knew they're
running for their lives
When they pulled out of town they didn't even touch the ground
Taking another ride with Clyde
[ dobro ]Give me water Bonnie honey give me gas when
we leave here we had better leave it fast
If the law comes gonna leave 'em high and dry gonna
take another ride with Clyde
Oh the bullets flew...
[ banjo ]Bonnie said Clyde we had better lay low
We are trapped heres and there's no place to go
Clyde said girl this is no place to die you're gonna
take another ride with Clyde
Oh the bullets flew...
I said taking another ride with Clyde
Another Ride With Clyde
Another Ride With Clyde stands as a testament to Flatt and Scruggs' enduring mastery of bluegrass instrumentation and storytelling. The duo, defined by Earl Scruggs' revolutionary three-finger banjo technique and Lester Flatt's smooth vocal delivery, crafted a sound that became synonymous with the genre's golden era. This recording captures their signature blend of driving rhythms and melodic precision, showcasing the tight interplay that made them one of the most influential acts in American roots music. While often associated with their extensive work backing Bill Monroe and their own prolific discography, tracks like this highlight their ability to create atmospheric narratives through purely instrumental or sparsely vocalized arrangements. The song remains a vital piece of their catalogue, reflecting the high standards of production and performance that secured their legacy in the bluegrass tradition.
