Verse
        Dm            C 
One day they robbed a bank 

             C 
It was their last hooray

The cops appeared too soon

They couldn't get away

And all the loot they had

It made them mighty mad 

            C 
And so they shot it out 

         Dm 
Ma Baker and her sons 

            C 
They didn't want to hang 

               Dm 
They died with blazing guns

And so the story ends 

           Dm 
Of one who left no friends
