She wasn’t just a mother — she was the queen of crime. This ballad tells the chilling tale of Ma Barker and her sons, whose love and loyalty turned into bullets, blood, and a legacy of destruction.
Ma Barker, the queen of crime She raised her boys to rob and to climb From banks to trains, they made their claim But the law was closing in, with a deadly aim Her sons were vicious, with a wicked grin Ma Barker's pride, her greatest sin
She thought she was above the law But the FBI was closing in, oh so raw With every heist, she sealed her fate Ma Barker's shame, would be her weight
Ma Barker's boys, they lived by the gun But their mama's love, would be their downfall, everyone She taught them to steal, to fight and to lie But in the end, her love would be their demise
Arthur, Fred, Lloyd and Herman, the gang was complete Ma Barker's boys, the country's most wanted to beat From Florida to Illinois, they left a trail Of destruction and death, with no regard for sail Their mother's love, was their driving force But it would be their undoing, in the end, of course
She thought she was above the law But the FBI was closing in, oh so raw With every heist, she sealed her fate Ma Barker's shame, would be her weight
Ma Barker's boys, they lived by the gun But their mama's love, would be their downfall, everyone She taught them to steal, to fight and to lie But in the end, her love would be their demise
The final showdown, at Lake Weir The law had them cornered, with no way to fear Ma Barker's empire, was crumbling down Her boys were falling, and she couldn't wear the crown
Ma Barker's boys, they lived by the gun But their mama's love, would be their downfall, everyone She taught them to steal, to fight and to lie But in the end, her love would be their demise
Kate Ma Barker's shame, it's a legacy of pain A mother's love, that drove them to the grave again Oh, the legend lives on
