The Bandit Songtext

von The Shadows

(Instrumental)
[Chorus]
Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil

1. I'm the quickest on the trigger, when I shoot I shoot to kill
I'm a hero down in Rio, where they talk about me still.

Once I robbed a big ranchero, who was rich beyond compare.
And to ransom held his daughter, she was young and she was fair.

[Chorus]
Ole, I am a bandit, the Bandit of Brazil.

2. She was sweet and she was tender, there was love light in her eyes,
In my arms she soon surrendered, very much to my surprise.

I refused her father's ransom, and I kept the greater prize,
Now at night we ride together ‘neath the blue Brazilian sky.

Adios to you, Amigo, Adios to you, my friend...

Ole, O Cangachero, the Bandit of Brazil

(Instrumental)

Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, (Fade Out)
