Freeze! I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in
the air,

the meanest cat from ol' Chicago town.

She had no heart at all, no no no heart at

she left her husband flat, he wasn't tough
enough.

She took her boys along, 'cos they were mean
and strong.

to handle their guns.

5. One day they
robbed a bank, it was their last foray,

And all the loot they had, it made them mighty
mad.

6. And so they shot
it out, Ma Baker and her sons.

They didn't want to hang, they died with
blazing guns.

and so the story ends, of one who left no
friends.
