one day they robbed a bank
it was their last foray
the cops appeared too soon
they couldn’t get away
and all the loot they had
it made them mighty mad
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

she taught her four sons
ma ma ma ma
ma baker
to handle their guns
ma ma ma ma
ma baker
she never could cry
ma ma ma ma

but she knew how to die
