[Verse 1]
I remember the time when the devil himself took a back seat in life for fear
Bonnie and Clyde were the talk of the land
Everybody talked about the Barrow band

[Chorus]
Oh the Barrow gang will get you little man
I remember my mama would say
Do your lessons and wash your hands
Or the Barrow gang will get you little man

[Verse 2]
When I went to school there was one sure way to silence the noise of the kids
The teacher would say work your fingers to the bone
Or the Barrow gang will get you if you don't

[Chorus]
Oh the Barrow gang will get you little man
I remember my mama would say
Do your lessons and wash your hands
Or the Barrow gang will get you little man

[Verse 3]
On Sunday morning in the little white church there was talk of Bonnie and Clyde
We learned about Jonah and we learned about the whale
And the Barrow gang will get you if you fail
[Outro]
Oh the Barrow gang will get you little man
I remember my mama would say
Do your lessons and wash your hands
Or the Barrow gang will get you little man
Or the Barrow gang will get you little man
Or the Barrow gang will get you little man
